Nintendo Switch Hits 132 Million Units Sold

According to the latest financial results shared by Nintendo, the combined sales of all iterations of the Switch have surpassed a remarkable milestone of 130 million units. As of September 30, 2023, the cumulative sales of Nintendo Switch units, encompassing the regular model, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED, have reached an impressive 132.46 million, marking an increase from last quarter's 129.53 million.

Furthermore, the total software sales on the Switch have soared to an astounding 1.133 billion units, surpassing the relatively modest figure of 948.76 million units achieved by the Nintendo DS.

Nintendo's hardware sales have experienced a year-on-year growth of 2.4% during the first two quarters since April 2023, reaching a total of 6.86 million unit sales. This increase, albeit not substantial, is noteworthy considering the console's advanced stage in its lifecycle, with games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom contributing significantly to this achievement, having sold nearly 20 million copies, and Pikmin 4 with sales of 2.61 million units. 

In the first six months of Nintendo's FY2024, the Switch OLED model emerged as the preferred choice among recent buyers. Total Switch hardware sales during this period reached 6.84 million units, with the breakdown as follows: 1.25 million units for the Standard Switch, 4.69 million units for the Switch OLED, and 0.90 million units for the Switch Lite.

Although the Switch continues to experience success, it falls short of the Nintendo DS, which remains at the top of the overall hardware sales table with 154.02 million units sold as of September 30, 2023. The current rankings for overall hardware sales are as follows: DS (154.02 million), Switch (132.46 million), Game Boy (118.69 million), Wii (101.63 million), Game Boy Advance (81.51 million), 3DS (75.94 million), Family Computer/NES (61.91 million), Super Family Computer/SNES (49.10 million), N64 (32.93 million), GameCube (21.74 million), and Wii U (13.56 million).
