Nintendo Switch is the second-bestselling game console ever, behind only the PS2
Nintendo's latest financial results reveal that the Switch has sold 155.37 million units, overtaking the original DS. This achievement highlights the console's enduring popularity, even as the Switch 2 has been released. Developers should be aware that many recent games and updates are still being released for the original Switch, indicating a sustained market for titles across both versions.
As Nintendo anticipates selling around 750,000 units in the next quarter, the potential for continued development on the Switch remains strong. However, as we transition further into the Switch 2 era, developers may need to strategize around shifting player bases and preferences, especially considering the price point of the new console.
