\nNintendo has reported a slowdown in Nintendo Switch console sales, and a slight reduction in its annual sales forecast.\n<\/p>\n

\nOverall, Nintendo Switch has now sold 114.3m consoles worldwide, with another 6.68m sold over the last two quarters. 2.23m of these were of the original 2017 Switch, while Switch OLED sold 3.53m and Switch Lite sold 920k.\n<\/p>\n

\nHowever, Nintendo admitted it had sold 19.2 percent fewer consoles year-on-year over the financial year so far – in part, it said, due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage. In response, Nintendo has cut its Switch sales forecast for the year from 21m to 19m consoles.\n<\/p>\n
