Japan: Switch has surpassed Nintendo DS sales

The Nintendo Switch has managed to accomplish a lot of achievements in the 7 years that have passed since the hybrid console originally launched. That, in turn, has helped to make Nintendo’s software also sell in high numbers. The Nintendo Switch has been very successful, and its latest achievement may be its biggest yet.

You see, Famitsu has released some new sales data for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. It has now sold 32,903,889 units in the country, which means it has now surpassed the Nintendo DS in sales. With this, the Switch is now Japan’s #1 best-selling video gaming hardware. You can see a tweet relaying the news down below.

  1. I understand that it may seem like wishful thinking, but I would be so cool if the next Nintendo Switch model could play 3DS games. Of course, remastered versions would be nice enough, although repurchasing a large number of games could be quite costly if that’s the approach.

    1. If the rumors are true then Switch 2 can handily emulate all of Nintendo previous consoles. NSO will finally be Nintendoflix spanning all of Nintendo history.

  2. Wait, Nintendo’s Switch era profits were already more than all other Nintendo eras combined, and it just NOW surpassed the sales of the handheld system with a gimmick no one asked for? You know what? No. I’m done. Video games are dead, and it’s clear that Nintendo, Capcom, or any other video game company is never going to be good again. I might as well buy just any video game. This article made me stupider.

    1. The hell are you talking about? How are video games dead if the DS was the dumb gimmick era by your logic? How did it make you stupider, by showing graphs? I really don’t understand your rant.

  3. I actually never owned a Nintendo DS. My only handheld from Nintendo was the original Gameboy. Lots of fun times!
