According to the State of the Game Industry report put out by the Game Developers Conference, Switch’s powerful console sales are helping software sales, too.
The majority of respondents to the question “have Switch game sales compared to the average across all the platforms you’ve launched on” answered sales have been average or greater than average, with only 16% saying sales were less than average.
Developers are also “overwhelmingly confident” Switch is going to outpace Wii U’s lifetime sales. Last year, 50% of respondents believed the Switch would surpass Wii U’s performance, and this year that number jumped to 73%. Nintendo Switch has surpassed Wii U lifetime sales already in Japan, so it’s almost a foregone conclusion at this point.
