Nintendo Switch becomes Nintendo’s all-time sales leader
Nintendo’s Switch has become the company’s best‑selling console with over 155 million units sold since its 2017 launch, surpassing the DS and second only to PlayStation 2. Shares fell about 11% on investor concerns over software sales and memory-chip prices, even as the Switch 2 started strong with 17 million units sold by year‑end 2025. Analysts credit a strong lineup of first‑party games and the handheld form factor for Switch’s success, though higher memory costs and broader economic factors could temper future profits.
