April was a strong month for Nintendo as according to Wedbush Securities media analyst Michael Pachter, the Switch sold 808,000 units. Pachter had previously estimated it would sell 400,000 estimate.
“The Switch’s status as a must-have item among many stay-at-home consumers drove a terrific April figure that would have been meaningfully higher if not for widespread sellouts throughout the month. The Switch led industry unit sales for the 17th consecutive month.”
Pachter also revealed that the PlayStation 4 sold 411,000 units while the Xbox One moved 329,000 units, both of which exceeded his predictions.
