Nintendo SWITCH on track to become best-selling console ever later this year

Nintendo aims to set a new sales record with the Nintendo Switch, projecting 13.5 million units to be sold by the end of March 2025. If achieved, the cumulative sales of the Switch will surpass those of the Nintendo DS, currently holding the record at 154.02 million units sold, by reaching 154.82 million units. Although a remarkable milestone, Nintendo still trails behind the PlayStation 2, which holds the absolute console sales record at 160 million units. While expectations are high, the upcoming release of the Switch's successor, presumably named Switch 2 around 2025, along with a sparse lineup of big titles remaining for the current Switch, cast doubt on whether the record can be exceeded further.

Nintendo Switch 2 is anticipated to come out around 2025, based on hints within Nintendo's projected sales for the current Switch model.

The Nintendo Switch has been a cultural phenomenon since its release in March 2017, offering a hybrid console experience that appeals to both home console lovers and handheld gaming enthusiasts. The Switch's unique design and extensive game library, including hits like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Super Mario Odyssey," have significantly contributed to its success. With the upcoming sequel to "Breath of the Wild," namely "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom," Nintendo fans are eagerly awaiting more epic adventures in Hyrule, potentially driving further sales for the console until its successor takes the stage.
