The Nintendo Switch closes in on a major milestone
Briefly

As of the end of 2024, Nintendo Switch has sold over 150 million units since its release. Despite hardware sales being down 30% compared to the previous year, Nintendo maintains optimism, bolstered by successful titles like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Recent and upcoming game releases could help the Switch surpass the Nintendo DS's 154 million units sold. While the Switch is expected to become Nintendo's best-selling console, it still needs to beat the PlayStation 2's record of 160 million units.
...the Nintendo Switch has sold over 150 million units in the eight years since its release. That's an impressive number, and yet...that's still not enough to make it the company's best selling piece of hardware.
Though hardware sales are down a whopping 30 percentage points compared to 2023, Nintendo has, predictably, taken an optimistic stance.
...the impressive 150 million unit total is still a bit short of the massive 154 million units the Nintendo DS sold in its 12-year lifetime.
It's likely that the Switch will finally overtake the DS this year, making it Nintendo's best selling console ever.
