Tokyo: Nintendo is expecting to sell more than 20 million of its new “Switch” consoles in the next fiscal year, the firm’s president said, with sales outpacing its smash-hit Wii console in some places.


Tatsumi Kimishima told Thursday’s Kyoto Shimbun newspaper that the momentum for Switch is stronger in some markets than that of the Wii, a smash-hit household console that sold more than 100 million units worldwide.


Kimishima said he expected Switch to sell “more than 20 million” units in the year to March 2019.


Nintendo launched the console in March 2017 with a price tag of $300 and aims to sell 14 million units through March 2018. — AFP
