The Nintendo Switch tops the DS to become the company's best-selling console of all time
The original Nintendo Switch has now sold 155.37 million units, making it Nintendo’s best‑selling console ever. It edges past the Nintendo DS, which held the previous record with 154.02 million units sold. Third place goes to the Game Boy line, where Nintendo groups several variants, including the Game Boy Color, into a single tally.
The Switch continues to sell even after the mid‑2025 launch of the Switch 2. Nintendo’s newer console started quickly, moving 6 million units in under a month and reaching 17.37 million sold so far, but the original hybrid system still carries the company’s all‑time hardware sales crown.
