Nintendo is a company that pays close attention to detail. In its latest financial report, in addition to updating the sales figures for Nintendo Switch and its games – which are in the millions and millions – it did the same for the software portfolio of two consoles from several generations ago, namely GameCube and 3DS.
Reading the latest financial report, the most attentive fans have noticed that Nintendo has made adjustments to the overall sales of video games for GameCube and 3DS, in both cases upwards. What numbers are we talking about? Here they are in detail:
The total number of GameCube video games sold up to December 2022 is 205.58 million units. This is an increase of 10,000 units compared to the previous official data, which was updated to 13 years earlier, or to March 2009; The total number of 3DS video games sold up to June 2024 is 392.02 million units. In this case, we are talking about an increase of 60,000 units in just 3 months, since the previous data was updated to March 2024. Nintendo’s futuristic (for the time) portable console, therefore, continues to vegetate despite having been supplanted by the Switch.
As for consoles sold, the numbers remained unchanged from the previous financial report and speak of 75.94 million Nintendo 3DS (12th place in the ranking of best-selling consoles in history) and 21.74 million Nintendo GameCube (21st place in the all-time ranking).
