Nintendo has confirmed this morning that the Nintendo Switch has sold over 155.37 million units worldwide. This means that it’s the best-selling Nintendo system ever, even beating the Nintendo DS which sold 154.02 million units worldwide. However, it has yet to outsell Sony’s PlayStation 2 which has sold 160.63 million.
Nintendo Switch has sold 155.37 million units beating the Nintendo DS
Sony:” we cleared out our PS2 stocks that had been gathering dust for 25 years! It sold 280 million units!”
It will definitely get there unless Sony somehow magically sells 10 million PS2s to keep the SW1 from outselling it. That being said, this is awesome.
This actually beats the original PlayStation 2 estimate at 155 million, it could easily beat the new 160 million estimate 😄
Ponies on strong cope they were so happy to hear the 160 number
Really impressive and great to see the old dog still has momentum.
5 million more and it beats PS2 and takes the crown
If you take into consideration the amount of people that bought a ps2 back then for its dvd player, then the switch has already proved more successful by a long shot.
1-upping Sony is such an inconsequential detail to the success of the Switch that changes absolutely nothing at either company, that it hardly matters what individual reason a person bought a PS2 for. Even if it sells the same or more on paper, there could still be more produced PS2’s in existence than Switch units, but what does it matter if more PS2s were manufactured than any other console? It just doesn’t mean anything and neither does the purchasing reasons.
