Nintendo Switch Sales: Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey Dominate October Sales Charts

The Nintendo Switch is sort of like cars in New York City: Nobody you know owns one, but traffic is horrible and finding a parking space is impossible. Nine months after its March release, the Switch hybrid console still is not widely available on store shelves despite, and because of, its soaring demand due to huge games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. The perception that the Switch is hugely popular is reality, as Glixel reports Nintendo consoles made up two thirds of all hardware sold in the United States in October. As one would expect, the Switch was the top console last month. Behind the Switch were the SNES Classic Edition retro console and the Nintendo 3DS, continuing its more than six year reign in the portable gaming market.
