"While the Nintendo Switch 2 went on sale in mid-2025, some people are still buying the original - this gave it enough of a push to become Nintendo's best-selling console of all time. Nintendo Switch sales now stand at 155.37 million units, moving it past the former king, the Nintendo DS, which sits at 154.02 million units sold. In third place is a classic, the Nintendo Game Boy (though note that the company folds multiple variants into one entry, e.g. the Game Boy Color)."
"As for the Switch 2, that opened with 6 million units sold in under a month and is now at 17.37 million total - there's a long way to go until it can catch up to its predecessor. Nintendo also lists the number of games sold - in this category, the original Switch is an absolute beast with 1,500.16 million games sold."
"Anyway, while the Switch is the best-selling Nintendo console of all time, it's not the overall champ - that title is held by the Sony PlayStation 2, which sold 160 million units during its ridiculously long lifespan (it made its debut in 2000 and was only discontinued in 2013). The PS2 is also ahead in number of games sold, accounting for 1.54 billion."
The Nintendo Switch has sold 155.37 million units, surpassing the Nintendo DS at 154.02 million and placing the Game Boy third. The Switch 2 opened with 6 million units in under a month and currently sits at 17.37 million total. The original Switch sold 1,500.16 million games, compared with the DS's 948.76 million and the Wii's 921.85 million. Nintendo sold 101.63 million Wiis while the Game Boy moved 501.11 million games. The Sony PlayStation 2 remains the overall best-selling console at 160 million units and 1.54 billion games sold.
