In just two years, the Nintendo Switch already has a great library of exclusives like the amazing Zelda Breath of the Wild, the fun Super Mario Odyssey, the beautiful Octopath Traveler, the creative Nintendo Labo, the nostalgic Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevhey, etc.
In addition, the console also features successful Wii U ports such as Bayonetta, Donkey Kong e New Super Mario Bros U. Today, the Switch's game library has established itself as a healthy mix of indie games, exclusives and third-party creations.
However, it was the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at the end of last year that seems to have definitively consolidated the Switch as a successful console.
Recent sales tracking reports from The NPD Group revealed that the fighting game led to an absolutely massive increase in Switch sales that ultimately made the system the best-selling video game console of 2018.
The vacation period is great for all video games and gaming systems. It's not uncommon to get ten times more sales than any other month of the year. O PS4 and Xbox One, for example, despite being near the end of their lives, they sold nearly a million units each.
Even so, the Nintendo Switch sured both of them together, reaching nearly two million sales and breaking records. This makes Nintendo's big goal of 20 million console sales for this fiscal year seems like a much more achievable dream.
And this is all because of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now the fastest selling exclusive game of all time. The numbers manage to sur the success of several franchise titles Halo, Black Ops 4 and even the incredible Red Dead Redemption 2.
