The Nintendo Switch snatches the NES' record as the company's longest-lasting console, with 2,688 days without a successor

The Nintendo Switch is the longest-serving Nintendo console, with the company having never left this much time in between releasing one console and the next. 

The Nintendo Switch is now the company's longest-lasting console era ever, meaning it's spent the most amount of time on store shelves without the company releasing a follow-up. Just yesterday, VGC reported that 2,687 days had gone since the Nintendo Switch's global launch on March 3, 2017. Obviously, that number's now at 2,688 days, but either way, it snatches the crown from the NES (Famicom in Japan) which spent 2,686 days as Nintendo's lone console.
