Four months since the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo just showed us how well the new console is faring (very well, it turns out), according to a new report. But while the company may be prioritizing its new Switch 2 at the moment, it’s the original Switch that seems poised to break a huge record in copies sold.
The Nintendo Switch has just past 154 million units sold since its launch in 2017, according to the new report. That’s an impressive figure on its own, that’s even more interesting when you look at it in context. To be more specific with the numbers, the Switch has sold 154.01 copies, while the same report shows that the Nintendo DS sold 154.02 over its lifetime. That puts the Nintendo DS as the second-best selling console in history, just behind the PlayStation 2 with 160.63 million sold, according to numbers from Sony. That means there’s a good chance that before long, the Switch could surpass the DS, becoming the second-best selling console ever itself.
