https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/21/the-nintendo-switch-had-a-very-good-march/ > Nintendo is selling a lot of Switches. The convertible console has been a lifesaver for people sheltering in place around the world. COVID-19-induced travel restrictions and the long-awaited arrival of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have proven to be a perfect storm for the three-year-old platform. > New numbers out from NPD this morning shed some light on just how good last month was for Nintendo. Switch sales more than double their numbers from March 2019, per the analyst firm. It was a March record for the console, which launched in March 2017. It was also the best first quarter unit sales for any gaming console since the company’s DS system, way back in 2010.
