Nintendo estimates that the Nintendo Switch will sell another 13.5 million units by March 2025. This would mean an amount of 154.82 million, surpassing sales of the Nintendo DS and becoming the second best-selling video game in history.

Still, it would be behind the PlayStation 2 – which officially has 155 million units sold across the planet. It is possible that its brand will be outdated, even with the arrival of a successor to the Nintendo Switch, but these are just market estimates.

Message about Nintendo Switch sales

Nintendo recognizes that sales of Nintendo Switch units have fallen, but say they will work with a focus on maintaining public engagement.

The Nintendo Switch is entering its eighth year since its launch, and while it will be challenging to sustain the sales momentum seen before, we will work to maintain high user engagement on the hardware and reinvigorate the platform – so more consumers continue to play Nintendo Switch longer

The successor is on the way, but he will maintain strength

Nintendo has already reinforced that the announcement of the successor to the Nintendo Switch will take place this fiscal year, but that the platform will still receive new titles to strengthen its sales.

According to the corporation, there will be a Nintendo Direct in June, which will be responsible for presenting the games that the platform will receive in the second half of 2024. While we have Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door coming to the video game, there is also the promise of Metroid Prime 4 – which continues to this day without any news.
