The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and it’s putting up record-breaking numbers for its June 2025 release. With 3.5 million worldwide sales, it’s the fastest-selling console from Nintendo or anyone else in the history of the world.

The Switch 2 still has a long way to go to match the success of its predecessor, the Switch, which has sold more than 152 million units and is closing in on the PS2’s record for all-time console sales (160 million). But how do Nintendo’s consoles stack up in terms of unit sales and game sales? This gallery has the answers.

As you’ll see, the Switch is far and away Nintendo’s best-selling home console of all time, but the Nintendo DS outranks it with more than 150 million units sold when combining all of its many permutations. On the other end of the scale, the Wii U is Nintendo’s worst-performing system of any type ever (besides the Virtual Boy), selling just 13.56 million units and shifting just north of 100 million games over its lifetime.

Nintendo seemingly wants to forget the Virtual Boy, as the 1995 machine is not mentioned anywhere on Nintendo’s website. It’s safe to assume that it did not sell very well.

Another notable stat is that the Switch is Nintendo’s first console to ever sell more than 1 billion games, and it currently stands at just over 1.391 billion total. The next closest is the Nintendo DS platform (948.76 million games).
