Nintendo has released its financial report, which you can find here .

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild still has more game sales than the Switch itself (!!!) – 2.76 million Switch, 1.08 million Wii U copies were sold so far.

At least they said something bold in software sales: they want to get 35 million sales in this financial year (up to March 31, 2017) with the help of a „continuous stream of third-party games.”
