Infographic and data site Visual Capitalist has produced a nice clear infographic depicting Nintendo system sales over the years from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Nintendo Switch. The handy infographic shows both console and handheld sales of games sold for the platforms along with system sales. The sales data is direct from previously published Nintendo figures.


So, Nintendo officially calls the Wii U a hybrid console? Neat!
This infographic is not official, it is made by Voronoi/Visual Capitalist.
Oh, okay. I didn’t notice that on the bottom left! Noted
On the source Sickr used for the post, that is: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualized-nintendo-console-and-game-sales-through-the-years/, they say the following: “The data comes from Nintendo and is updated as of March 2024.”
The word “Nintendo” from that quote has a link to https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html, but nowhere in that page says the term “hybrid”, they only show the sales figures.
For Sofiona, I know this wasn’t clear for you, here you can see the success of the 3DS.
I see that you have absolutely not understood the nature of my words. the 3DS sold very well in absolute terms but in reality, it remains the least sold portable console and the first where Nintendo had to lower the price very quickly because it wasn’t selling so yes it’s a failure for Nintendo, not commercial but a failure nonetheless, but go ahead and see what you want to see….
I understood what you said previously…. its a failure…….its not a success, etc.
You’re just wrong.
Sofiona that’s still a success.
“BUT THE LESS SOLD PO”
still a success, 76 million units is a success
Your brain is under-developed.
I remember Nintendo reviewing their prices when they originally released the 3ds, I think the only failure was the too higher price hence the sudden price drop, although as I purchased the release price 3ds I got the ambassador reward. The 3ds was still a success
But what you can’t see is the Virtual Boy!
Since when did Nintendo called the Wii U a hybrid console?
I don’t know but I ain’t calling that shit hybrid, one room of distance from the console and the gamepad would go apeshit
Switch numbers are slightly outdated. Those numbers are from March of this year. Switch sales are now at just over 146 million.
Ok. So why dont Nintendo move the goal post with the DS and add 7 million
Blah harasses devs over his character wars, the successor to the console wars because he’s jealous of Rosalina
