The Nintendo Switch doesn’t seem to have any limits other than those imposed by a lack of components and keep increasing your sales at a pace that the competition would already like, although of course there’s a trick to it: it’s not the same to build the Switch as the PS5 or Xbox Series.

In any case, what the Japanese company takes… and never better said, because the three versions of the console that have been launched so far (normal, Lite and OLED) are practically the same except for the details (the OLED is the most prominent here), which means a growing profit margin on hardware sales, although the component issue has made that somewhat difficult.

Even so, the Nintendo Switch continues to sell without any setbacks other than the aforementioned lack of parts, and ends July with an odd number, i.e. more than 111 million units sold, including three versions of the console in quantity. In total, about 3.43 million units were sold this quarter: 1.52 million of the OLED version, 1.32 million of the normal version and 0.59 million of the Lite version.

At the end of last quarter, we learned that the Nintendo Switch had surpassed the Wii in sales, the fourth best-selling console in history. It remains to beat the PlayStation 4, which lacks updated figures, 118 million units sold worldwide of its various versions were recorded in the same data. It is assumed that he will get it.

Mario number one!

It’s not so clear if it will exceed, but if it will come close to the numbers of the two best-selling video game consoles of all time, the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation 2, and their 154 and 155 million units sold, respectively. . The opportunity, of course, they will have, and according to the Japanese company, the Nintendo Switch would complete half of its life cycle… And that was launched in 2017!

Of course, the official position must be taken with tweezers; what they care about is continuing to sell what they have until they have the next thing ready. Additionally, if the life cycle is true, the Nintendo Switch would last until 2027, and it doesn’t seem likely that the invention would last that long without a successor appearing first. In that sense, I agree that something should be seen around 2024-2025.

Aside from the hardware, the Nintendo Switch is celebrating game sales numbers, which aren’t bad at all Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (46.82 million), Animal Crossing: New Horizons (39.38 million) a Super Smash Bros Ultimate (28.82 million) as the best-selling console in the history tour… and they are all nintendo. Circular trade for Kyoto.
