Nintendo has released the company quarterly financial results and has also announced that the Nintendo Switch family of systems have sold 114.33 million units worldwide since the system launched in 2017. The data provided is up until 30th September, 2022 so clearly more will have been sold in the meantime. The Nintendo 3DS has has sold over 75.94 million units worldwide (sales figures not updated). As Twinfinite points out Nintendo has shipped 3.25 million units worldwide during the 2nd quarter and Sony has shipped 3.3 million PlayStation 5 units during the same period.
Nintendo has now shifted over 114 million Switch systems since 2017
The 3DS was at 75.94 a year ago. It hasn’t changed (look at the page as of September 30, 2021):

Ah, they must not have updated the sales figure on today’s investors page. Thanks.
They did update them, it was only software that changed for both Wii U and 3DS, while Switch saw both hardware and software updates. This is because 3DS and Wii U have been discontinued, but both still have digital eshop sales, leading to updates in their software totals. That’s why hardware is the same, but software is different.
It hasn’t changed because it is obsolete now. I don’t think they count any sales after it becomes discontinued.
Actually, if you had opened the link I posted, they did update the numbers, the software went slightly up from 387.42 million to 389.86 million today. Wii U also saw software sales update from 103.42 million to 103.53 million. So, they are updating their numbers, just they’re so small people assume that they’re not being updated.
Actually, if you read the link I posted, the numbers were updated for software. Hardware has been discontinued, exactly as I said, but software sales for the 3DS went from 387.42 million to 389.86 million now. Wii U also saw software increases from 103.42 million to 103.53 million. They haven’t produced either Wii U or 3DS, but they are still selling games for it, and updating those.

So, let me clarify the statement above. Both Wii U and 3DS saw updated numbers, only they were updated software numbers, because hardware production has been ended for both systems, but both systems have eshops, and both are still selling software, hence why both saw (minimal) increases to their software totals. Both were updated, but only software sales changed.
