Nintendo has finally confirmed sales figures for the new Switch console and they’re quite something. According to the company in its latest financial statement, the Nintendo Switch sold 2.74 million units worldwide from March 3rd to March 31st.

Japan saw 600,000 units sold while 1.2 million units were sold in the Americas. About 940,000 units were sold in regions designated as “Other” which includes Europe, Australia and so on. Keep in mind that this is up to March 31st, the end of the fiscal quarter. The current number is likely much higher.
