Original Switch Surpasses Nintendo DS as Best-Selling Console of All Time

The original Switch has officially taken the lead over the Nintendo DS, becoming the best-selling console from Nintendo. This is indicated by the company’s third-quarter report, which reveals that the updated sales figures for the Switch have exceeded 155 million units, while the DS stands at just over 154 million.

Here are some of the highlights from Nintendo’s report:

During the past quarter, Metroid Prime 4 was released, but Nintendo did not disclose its sales figures. This could suggest that the game did not reach sales of over a million copies on either the Switch or the forthcoming Switch 2, as the company tracks sales separately for each platform. However, it’s possible that when combined, sales of Metroid Prime 4 on both consoles have indeed crossed the one million mark.
