Nintendo announced that 146 million units of the Switch console have been sold so far. This figure places the Switch as the third highest selling console behind the Sony PlayStation 2 (155 million) and the Nintendo DS (154.2 million). This amazing figure was achieved within 7 years of its launch.
It is far behind consoles in the same generation which are PlayStation 4 (117.2 million) and Microsoft Xbox One (58 million). The announcement of the latest Switch sales figures was made on the eve of the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 which is expected to be done early next year.
Nintendo is still secretive about the full specifications and design of this console. They just say the Switch 2 will be able to play the original Switch games through backwards compatibility support.
