TOKYO—Nintendo Co. beat its forecast for Switch machine sales and said consumers have bought more than 13 million copies of its latest “Animal Crossing” game, evidence that people staying at home during the coronavirus pandemic are flocking to videogames. The company had projected on Jan. 30 that it would sell slightly fewer than two million Switch units in the January-March quarter, the final quarter of its fiscal year and traditionally a slow time for the industry after the holiday season.
