by

Nintendo is a legendary gaming company with a long history, but it’s hard to know exactly how many games and consoles they’ve sold throughout the years.

Nintendo announced today that it has sold over 870 million consoles and more than 6 billion games worldwide. While the company didn’t share sales figures for each system, their website reveals the original Switch has accounted for a remarkable 1.452 billion game sales and 154.01 million consoles sold. The Switch is very close to becoming Nintendo’s best-selling platform of all time, needing to sell just 10,000 more units to surpass the DS (which sold 154.02 million).

Following the Switch and DS in terms of hardware sales, the Game Boy (118.69 million units sold), the Wii (101.63 million), and the Game Boy Advance (81.51 million) complete the list of Nintendo’s top five best-selling systems.

The Switch is by far the best-selling game console of all time. It has significantly more sales than any other system, with the DS coming in second at 948.76 million units sold. The Wii follows with 921.85 million, then the Game Boy (501.11 million), NES (500.01 million), and finally the 3DS (392.29 million).

The Switch 2 launched in June 2025 and quickly became a hit, selling over 10 million units in its first four months. Players have also purchased more than 20.6 million games for the console. Nintendo is now predicting even stronger sales, increasing their forecast for this fiscal year from 15 million to 19 million units – a rise of over 26%.
