The new home gaming system that people can also use on the move, Nintendo Switch, sold faster in its launch month than any other video game system in Nintendo history. The gaming system sold more than 906,000 units in March, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the US.
The game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, sold over 1.3 million units and the total included more than 925,000 units sold for Nintendo Switch and nearly 460,000 units sold for the Wii U console. This was enough to make the game, the fastest-selling Nintendo launch game of all time.
Although the Nintendo Switch sales are off to a record-breaking start, shipments have not yet been able to keep up with the demand. Nintendo is trying to make sure everyone who wants a system is able to buy one.
Towards the end of the month, Nintendo will launch the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game for the Nintendo Switch. The game will contain more content than any other Mario Kart game in series history, including 48 racing tracks, new battle modes, new characters and other additions.
