"With over 155 million sold, Nintendo's Switch is officially the company's biggest console hit ever. It's been a long road to surpassing the DS, which reached 154 million consoles over its seven-year lifespan. The Switch, meanwhile, is a year shy of its 10-year anniversary. We've seen the original console, the non-hybrid Lite and the OLED versions of the Switch over the decade, but despite being replaced by Switch 2, the original is still selling at a strong pace: 1.36 million units in Q3."
"But Nintendo doesn't care. It's brought the Virtual Boy back, baby, as an add-on for the Switch 2, in all its red monochrome '90s-tech glory. And we finally got to test it. It even includes the original bipod, which you use to prop it up and lean into it. Yes, you still can't just wear the thing like modern VR headsets. The Switch 2 console, sans Joy-Cons, then slides in, acting as display, battery and processor."
Nintendo's Switch has exceeded 155 million units sold, surpassing the DS to become Nintendo's best-selling console and nearing the PlayStation 2's all-time record by about five million units. Multiple Switch models appeared over the decade, including the original, Lite and OLED, and the original model continues to sell strongly despite the Switch 2 launch, posting 1.36 million units in Q3. An experimental Reddit-style forum called Moltbook populated by autonomous AI agents has emerged, raising user-data security concerns and questions about AI-driven social spaces. Nintendo reintroduced the Virtual Boy as a Switch 2 add-on that uses the console as its display and retains the original bipod experience.
