Sales of the Nintendo Switch have exceeded 100 million units.

Over 100 million Nintendo Switches have been sold globally, according to official records. As a result, Nintendo's hybrid system is now the company's most successful home product overall, outselling both the Wii and the original Playstation. We can only anticipate more major developments as the Switch is just halfway through its lifespan.

Those benchmarks, which follow the Nintendo Switch sales milestone, may arrive sooner than you expect. Nintendo said today that it expects an additional 23 million units to be sold in the next months, surpassing the sales of the Game Boy and Game Boy Colour. Although the ongoing lack of parts raises concerns about the precise number of devices Nintendo can sell, it is evident that they do not anticipate a significant decline in the device's ongoing popularity.

Though sales of the Switch actually decreased last year by around 20%, it's important to note that a significant rise in digital downloads has kept the good ship Nintendo afloat and maybe in the greatest position it's been in in years. We predict that the Japanese gaming behemoth will continue to dominate despite a dearth of new hardware releases since it has an incredible year of releases ahead of it, including the already enormously popular Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

We can hardly blame Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo of America, for celebrating the sales news on Twitter.

As it continues to smash sales records, it is evident that Nintendo still has a lot of surprises in store for the Switch. The much anticipated Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is one thing we can look forward to, and by bookmarking our BotW2 release date page, you can stay up to speed with all the most recent pre-release information.
