Nintendo warns: beware of temperature difference causing Switch game console to dew

CTOnews.com, January 23 (Xinhua)-- Nintendo customers support the official Twitter today to remind players that if the temperature of the place where the game console is placed suddenly changes, the game console may condense. If condensation occurs, turn off the power and place it in a warm room until the droplets dry.

Nintendo has also warned players that if the Switch handset is unused and uncharged for a long time, it may cause the lithium battery to age and cannot be recharged. Please recharge your Switch at least every six months.

According to VGChartz's latest estimate of host sales, as of December 3, 2022, global Nintendo Switch host sales have exceeded 118.2 million.

This also enabled Switch to successfully surpass Sony PS4's 117.03 million units to become the fourth largest console sold in the world. The top three were PlayStation 2 (PS2), Nintendo DS (DS) and Game Boy (GB).
