Sales of video game hardware have slowed down a little going into September after much better sales posted the week before. However, it is all good news for the Switch machines, as the total lifetime sales finally breach the 15 million units mark sold in Japan. To be precise, the total lifetime units sold for the machine is 15,073,025.
It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Famitsu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! You can find all the data below in this post right here.
