Nintendo Switch is increasingly showing its fangs in the gaming industry. The gaming platform made by Nintendo is the third best-selling console of all time.
This was revealed in the latest financial report as of February 7, 2023. This hybrid handheld device has sold more than 122 million units since its release in 2017 to 2022. That's what the report quoted us from Polygon said, Sunday (12/2/2023).
This achievement was able to replace the two senior consoles launched by PlayStation and Nintendo. There is a PS4 which previously filled fourth place, with a total sales of 117 units.
Then in third place previously secured by Game Boy, after making a lot of profit from total sales of 118 million units. But with the new score scored by the Nintendo Switch, both of them have to go down one rank.
Now the Switch is in third place, and overtook PS4 (5th) and Game Boy (4th). Meanwhile, PS2 still feels comfortable breathing fresh air at its peak, with 155 million units that have been sold since visiting gamers.
His power was overshadowed by the Nintendo DS, which has sold 154 million units. However, it seems that the number will not increase, considering that gamers are more focused on the Switch, which is currently the third best-selling console of all time.
It turns out that the love of gamers is not only directed to the device, but also the various games released are in great demand. There are at least ten titles that have boosted Nintendo's income from the Switch.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (52 million)
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (41.59 million)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (30.44 million)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (29 million)
