　　"Out of sell-through figures for the previous fiscal year, about 25% of overall hardware purchases were made by those who already owned a Nintendo Switch," Furukawa explained. "About 30% of Nintendo Switch Lite unit sales were repeat purchases (demand for additional Nintendo Switch systems after the first) and 40% of Nintendo Switch OLED Model unit sales were repeat or replacement purchases."

　　Furukawa also added that Nintendo expects the OLED model Switch to make up a larger portion of the company's hardware sales during the next financial year, with the updated console only releasing near the end of the most recent fiscal year.
