Even though we're at the end of the Nintendo Switch era, Grandpa Nin's hybrid console continues to sell well, especially in his home country of Japan, where it's consistently ranked at number one. But in other regions, although sales were not able to compete with the PS5 in many countries, they continued to sell well despite the announcement that a new Switch model would be launched soon.
Recently, sales were announced in the American region, which is considered a large market for video games. This is a sales report from Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, formerly of The NPD Group, who announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the Nintendo Switch is lagging in sales in America. There are 1,410,000 PlayStation 2 units sold as of May 4, 2024. That's two months ago, giving it a chance to increase sales even further.
However, these sales exist only in America. As for global sales, the Nintendo Switch sold 141 million units, counting sales through March 2024, ranking third as the best-selling game console of all time, with PlayStation 2 ranking first with sales exceeding 155 million units, followed by Nintendo DS with sales 154 million units Previously, Pu Nin announced that by the end of this fiscal year, which ends in March 2025, Nintendo aims to sell more Switch hardware than the DS, and may even outperform the PS2. As for whether or not this can be done, we will have to wait and see.
