Japan over 4 million | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Japan over 4 million](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/japan-over-4-million.jpg "Japan over 4 million")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/japan-over-4-million.jpg)Sales of the Nintendo Switch have continued to be a wonderful success in Japan.

**Famitsu** released sales data for the week of March 19th, which resulted in the Nintendo Switch selling 52,000 units.

## [](#4-million-mark)4 Million mark

This means that, in Japan, the Nintendo Switch has sold 4,037,144 units at that point.

Surpassing the 4,000,000 mark, the Nintendo Switch managed to achieve this with the console at just 56 weeks old. Believe it or not, this is not far off from the Wii, which reached the same milestone in Japan just 54 weeks into the Wii’s life.

All in all these are very good numbers to say the least and we can only imagine where it will take Nintendo in the upcoming years. Looking back at the not so wonderful time we had with the Wii U, despite it being a good system overall, this promises a lot!
