In the latest financial results briefing, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima shared some interesting stats comparing regional sales for Kirby: Star Allies and Bayonetta 2 on the Switch.

 

Here’s the statement from President Tatsumi:

We began releasing Nintendo titles non-stop with the launch of Nintendo Switch, and kept the new-release buzz alive through the end of the year. We are continuing to release new titles since the start of this new year as well. And we are selling more titles across a broad array of genres, from those with widely accessible characters and settings like the Kirby series, to those like Bayonetta that are well regarded by game fans, all of which gives us a real sense that our consumer base is growing.
