Nintendo has been busy providing new sales figures for its range of consoles and software. We have already reported that the Nintendo Switch 2 has now sold over 10.36 million units worldwide. The original Nintendo Switch is still chugging along with 910K units sold in the last quarter. This puts the Nintendo Switch total worldwide sales at 154.01 million, which is quite some achievement.
Nintendo Switch sales top 154.01 million (910K sold in the last quarter)
We at Sony have found 30 million more PlayStation 2 consoles and sold all of them bringing the lifetime sales to 190 million sales.
Best comment ever!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joke works on so many levels
It is absolutely mighty impressive that a console in this day and age has come close to the ps2 sales.
Remember that back when the ps2 was available there were no phones or tablets to play games like millions do today and people probably had a bit more money to spend,
I think we also made the purchase of one because it was a dvd player as well and that is without a doubt one of the reasons for its sales figures too.
The PS2 owes its success to only two things… its DVD player (many bought it for that because it was much cheaper than a standard player..) and the lack of competition.. Sega abandoned the Dreamcast a few months after its release… And the PS2 got very lucky… its first games were just horrible and far inferior to the Dreamcast; that wouldn’t be forgiven nowadays.
I had a GameCube and an Xbox, I never had a PS2. I still think the Switch will surpass the PS2 one day, but not for a few years.
Yeah no. I think next year it passes it.
Sofiona…. the Switch owes a lot of its success to Covid.
Guess what, it doesnt matter. A sale is a sale.
The PS2 adding in a DVD player was commercially smart decisioning that paid off.
Ah yes, that misleading comparison is not bad…
You can tell you didn’t experience that era… the inclusion was just a deliberate move by Sony to sell its PS2, the price difference with a DVD player, including Sony’s own, was huge, right? The Xbox had the same thing and yet it never took off, one wonders why, right…
I was very much around in that era. The Xbox DVD feature was not OOTB, it required a separate, expensive kit. PS2’s market dominance against the Xbox and GameCube was already in motion. As said, a sale is a sale.
It WAS out of the box on the OG Xbox.
Maybe I got a bundle. Not sure.
No this dude is just lying spreading revisionist history. Original Xbox plays DVD’s no extension the tard maybe mixing up Xbox 360 for OG Xbox and the extension wasn’t for DVD’s which the 360 could play it was an extension for HDDVD’s a outdated format that competed and failed against Blu-Rays.
To play DVDs on OG Xbox needed a dvd play kit, which was sold separately.
The 360 DID NOT Compete with PS2.
Tard :)
It wasn’t such a huge deal like it was with the HD-DVD attachment for the 360. That kit was only $20. Idk how much of a role it did make in the decision for people looking for a DVD player. Especially considering that if you wanted a DVD player, you probably would’ve gotten a remote for the PS2 as well. Which was about the same price.
You just keep lying. Covid is not responsible for Switch 1 success it is not the core reason and Xbox OG was a DVD player it did not require a add on go buy a OG Xbox and play a DVD or look it up. PS2 dominance is due to many factors such as the DVD player feature, the game library exclusive wise was massive, it came out before the Xbox and GameCube so cheaper, and the success the PS1 had carried to PS2 even more so the loyalty was built.
You need to read my comments properly. I didnt say it was responsible. I said it owes a lot of its success. Very different.
Im not disputing ps2s success. Again, read above.
OG XB dvd playback needed a remote and a piece of kit. Happy to be corrected on that.
The dvd playback kit was $20 man. It wasn’t expensive.
Thats not the point. The point is that dvd playback was locked behind that kit.
Oh it definitely was. Such a stupid decision on MS’s part.
No it does not owe its success to covid solely
What? PS2 was a legend console best PlayStation console only rival maybe PS4
No Jim Ryan said PS5 would double the PS4’s lifetime sales in half the time so beyond 220 million
The Nintendo Switch continues to impress with over 154 million sold! Check out this fun game at スイカゲーム for some great entertainment!
