“We’d already seen a steady growth in Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U trade-ins since Christmas, but this increased to unprecedented levels in the weeks leading to the Nintendo Switch launch, as consumers started to trade-in their older consoles in preparation to upgrade in early March,” said Liam Howley, the marketing director of Declutter. The website has seen a boom in trade-ins in the past few weeks for Nintendo systems including the new Nintendo 3DS XL and the Wii U. In the weeks leading towards the Switch release the gaming devices being traded in increased by 66%, along with the new Nintendo 3DS XL and Wii U trade-ins having grown by a record 70%.
