The original Switch is officially Nintendo’s best-selling console of all time after surpassing the DS handheld in lifetime sales. In its latest earnings release, Nintendo reports that the Nintendo Switch has, as of December 31, 2025, sold 155.37 million units since its launch in 2017, compared to 154.02 million units for the 2004 Nintendo DS.
Glad to hear that it worked out for you. If not for a few specific non-first party exclusives (that I really, really, wish were not), my Switch would just be a rarely used Mario Kart Machine. I had a feeling this would happen when i got the Switch, since it was exactly how it played out with the Wii (except it became a rarely used Wii Sports Machine). No chance I’ll ever buy a Switch 2 or probably any other Nintendo console at this rare. It’s been all down hill for Nintendo since the SNES :)
