Nintendo reminds everyone that Switch is in its sales prime

Microsoft and Sony launched next-generation consoles this week, and Nintendo doesn’t seem to mind.

The company announced today that it sold 735,000 Switch consoles in the United States in October, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. That is up 136% year-over-year. And it’s the second-best October for any gaming hardware behind only the 807,000 Wiis that Nintendo sold in October 2008.
