Nintendo Switch Takes Almost 20% Of Console Sales In UK For 2018

Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular console of 2018 and marks Nintendo’s resurgence after Wii U’s fiasco. Still, in the UK, Nintendo has a little more room to cover according to a study by GameIndustry.

According to their study, the Nintendo Switch represents 19.6% of the game console sales in UK for 2018 while its older brother, the 3DS family of consoles, taking up 2.9%. Interestingly, the Nintendo Wii took up 0.5% of the sales share while Wii U got lost within ‘Others’.

Although this is quite good statistics for the Nintendo Switch, it is still under competitors Xbox and PlayStation 4 at 31.8% and 44% respectively. Meaning there is still room to catch up.

Maybe in 2019 the Switch will take a bigger share of the console sales pie, but until then there is still much work to do.
