Nintendo Switch Has Sold Over 143 Million Units Worldwide
Nintendo Switch has hit a new milestone, selling 143.42 million units globally, as per the latest financial report. The company sold 2.1 million units between April and June 2024. Despite this achievement, sales have dropped by 46.3% compared to the same period last year.
Software sales have also seen a decline, reaching 30.64 million units in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025, down by 41.3%. This drop follows the exceptional performance in 2023, driven by the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The Nintendo Switch is now in its eighth year, and with the announcement of its successor, it’s understandable that sales are slowing. As we look forward to the next version of the Switch, rumors suggest a possible launch in March 2025
Despite the overall decline in sales, some games have continued to perform exceptionally well, contributing to the console’s long-term success.
Top-selling games on the Switch are:
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 62.90 million units
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons: 45.85 million units
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: 34.66 million units
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 32.05 million units
- Super Mario Odyssey: 28.21 million units
- Pokémon Sword/Pokémon Shield: 26.35 million units
- Pokémon Scarlet/Pokémon Violet: 25.29 million units
- Super Mario Party: 20.84 million units
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: 20.80 million units
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe: 17.61 million units
