One of the Switch’s most recent iterations is a special Mario Red Edition, and it’s already an incredible success in Japan. After the launch of the Mario Red Edition, the Switch’s sales in Japan went up to 110, 241 units sold, doubling the sales of the week prior. Withrumors and leaks revolving around a potential Switch 2, it’s impressive to see that special editions of a six-year-old console are still drumming up spikes in sales.
Not only is this jump in sales a testament to the passion of many Nintendo fans, but theupcoming release ofSuper Mario Bros. Wondercould very well create another increase in sales for the Mario Red Edition of the Switch. A special edition of the Switch that is directly inspired by Mario releasing just a few weeks beforeSuper Mario Bros. Wondercould likely have been Nintendo’s game plan all along, since the fans and collectors who are particularly passionate about the company and its games would choose to play the newestSuper Mario Bros.game on a console that’s called the Mario Red Edition.
Despitethe recent Switch 2 leaks, the original Switch is still clearly a popular console for many gamers. With major games likeTears of the Kingdomand a newSuper Mario Bros.game on the horizon, the current iteration of the console is still kicking after six years. Although it may not compare to the newer PS5 and Xbox Series X/S when it comes to visual performance and overall power, theSwitchis clearly still thriving thanks to the passion of its fan base.
