Although the figure undershot the 24.1 million units sold in
the corresponding period a year earlier, the milestone highlights the
continuing demand for the ageing device.
Nintendo cut its full-year Switch hardware sales forecast to
23 million units from 24 million previously.
The Kyoto-based games maker and peers Sony and Microsoft are
grappling with chip shortages that have hit hardware supply.
On Wednesday, Sony cut its full-year forecast for sales of
the PlayStation 5 to 11.5 million units from 14.8 million.
In 2021, an OLED variant of Nintendo Switch was announced in
July. Available in two colour options, it went on sale in the US in October,
along with more select regions.
Priced at $349.99, Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is
compatible with all current Nintendo Switch games and the current Joy-Con
controllers.
The OLED model brings a slightly bigger display but in the
same console size, which means the bezels have shrunk just a little. It also
comes with double the internal storage compared to the original console.
The screen size has increased from a 6.2-inch LCD to a
7-inch OLED. The resolution stays the same at 1,280x720 pixels.
The OLED model is powered by the same Nvidia custom Tegra
processor but comes with 64GB of internal storage compared to 32GB on the
previous generation Switch. It is expandable via microSDHC or microSDXC cards
(up to 2TB).
