According to recently released sales data from Famitsu, the Nintendo Switch has seen a significant sales jump in Japan. This increase is possibly attributable to the release of the updated HAC-001-01 model that hit store shelves just a few weeks ago.
According to sales data from the last week of August, the Nintendo Switch moved 90,553 units. Compare that to the previous week’s 30,072 units, and it’s easy to infer that the uptick in hardware sales is related to the hardware revision, which is currently sold out at many Japanese retailers.
Featuring a newly revised Tegra X1 processor, code-named “Mariko,” the latest Switch model sees very few noticeable upgrades aside from the nearly doubled battery life, which is the key selling point for the new units.
