The Nintendo Switch has crossed yet another impressive milestone by selling over 143 million units worldwide. Nintendo's latest console has been a blockbuster success for the legendary gaming company ever since it first hit the market in 2017, with its sales being bolstered by major first-party titles like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Just last February, the Nintendo Switchsurpassed the PlayStation 4 in sales on its way to becoming one of the most successful consoles of all time.

Even more sales milestones were crossed in 2024 so far, as the Nintendo Switch officially surpassed the Big N's own Nintendo DS and Game Boy handhelds in Japan, becoming the highest-selling system of all time in that particular country. Elsewhere, the Nintendo Switch is projected to come within striking distance of outselling the PlayStation 2, the highest-selling console in history, should current trends continue.

----------------------------------

It should beat the PS2 eventually, especiall with a new Zelda round the corner, a new Metroid Prime on the horizon and still no price cuts at play.

It's so good to see Nintendo succeed after the failure of the Wii U, although I still love that console to bits.
