Today, February 3, Nintendo has revealed its financial reports at the end of the 3rd quarter of the current fiscal year, which covers October-December 2021. Under this premise, and knowing how open the company is when making its sales data public, we have been able to learn Nintendo Switch sales data, both at the hardware and software level in a similar way to what Sony did yesterday revealing the total sales of PS5.
Therefore, it has been revealed that Nintendo Switch would have sold a total of 103.5 million consoles since its launch and until December 3, 2021 throughout the world, which has made it the 5th best-selling console in history after surpassing the sales of Wii and PlayStation 1.
It should be noted that the console is exactly one month away from its fifth year of life, so to maintain the current sales rate it would end up being the 3rd best-selling console in history in case it surpasses PlayStation 4 and Game Boy. Gone are the figures for Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2, with more than 150 million consoles sold each.
