Nintendo has now shifted a staggering 122m Switch consoles, enough to finally exclipse the Game Boy (118m) and PlayStation 4 (117m).
Almost seven years on from launch, this total places Switch as the third-best selling game platform of all time, behind Nintendo DS (154m) and PlayStation 2 (above 155m).
Can Switch still rise further? Console sales are slowing – down 21 percent year-on-year – but it still seems possible, with sales of the Switch OLED model balancing out declining sales of the vanilla Switch and portable-only Lite.
Software sales also slowed year-on-year, with seven percent fewer Switch games sold but a slight increase in sales of first-party games – published by Nintendo itself.
