TOKYO -- Nintendo on Thursday said sales of its Switch gaming console had surpassed 100 million units by the end of last year, marking a milestone for the device even as it battles production delays due to a global shortage of semiconductors.
Released in March 2017, the Switch has become a global hit, fueled by titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The console has now sold more units than the Wii, which since its release in 2006 has sold about 102 million units. Only a handful of home consoles have passed the 100 million mark, including several in Sony's PlayStation series.
