As a result of this, Nintendo re-iterates the importance of the 3DS moving forward, stating that "it has developed into a platform that [they] can rely on for software sales".
On the portable front, 3DS game sales were strong, Nintendo said, specifically calling out Pokemon Sun and Moon, which have now combined to sell 15.44 million units.
But how to maintain this unbelievable momentum?
"True to past form, they're trying to stay out of the fray with the competition by not making a high-end console", says Billy Pidgeon, an independent video game analyst. "As a home console, shipments would likely fall short of the Wii, but given that Switch users are less likely to be light users vs. the Wii base, we expect a higher tie ratio and profitability". The CEO of Stardock, Brad Wardell, told GamingBolt that in all likelihood, they won't be supporting the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch can't even see the PS4 in its rear view mirror, selling more than double that amount in just a week. I mean, if it was a $1,000 game system, maybe I'd care. In just one month. "Your new Nintendo God is the Switch!"

Spurs have now gone eight league games unbeaten and they haven't done that since winning the title 56 years ago. Those runs in the 1950-51 and 1960-61 seasons propelled Tottenham to the title.
Early signs don't show that as the plan for the immediate future, though.
Despite the Wii U's colossal failures due to its lack of third-party games, Stardock CEO Brad Wardell thinks Nintendo's new Switch console-handheld hybrid will sell regardless of third-party support. He slid the Switch in, created a VR test footage to test the Switch with, and exploited the console's browser hack to access YouTube. Considering one came out in 2011 and one came out seven weeks ago, that absolutely should not be the case. Additionally, Nintendo has shifted 5.46 million software copies during March, and further expect to ship 35 million copies of Switch games between April 1 2017 and March 31 2018. Because, like many people, I pretty much want to play everything I possibly can on this new console.
And that's a good thing. But Nintendo has always championed great gaming experiences despite low-profile hardware, so who knows? If the next proper entry in the Pokémon series is on the 3DS, that is a big mistake.
However, the Switch doesn't have any sort of camera on it, so unless Nintendo released a headset with sensors and trackers or some sort of inside-out tracking solution, positional tracking with the system wouldn't be possible. Since it wound up and made accessible on March third, the company sold 2.74 million Switch till the end of the month, 2 million additional units the organization since quite a while ago shipped by the previous month.
