Nintendo’s financial results up to the end of 2025 show that the Switch family of consoles continue to break records
It’s been inevitable for a while now, and probably happened some months ago, but it’s finally official: the Nintendo Switch has become Nintendo’s best-selling system ever, and the second-best-selling console of all time.
In its latest financial results, Nintendo revealed that the Switch had reached 155.37 million units sold, beating the Nintendo DS’ lifetime total of 154.02 million. In that time, an incredible 1.5 billion Switch games have been sold.
The biggest Switch games are some of the biggest of all time, period. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold over 70 million copies, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons is closing in on 50 million. New Horizons’ outsized role in the pandemic gaming boom was a major contributor to the Switch’s massive sales.
