Sales of Nintendo Switch have now passed the 150 million mark, according to Nintendo’s latest financial results.
The firm released its quarterly results today revealing that it has now sold 150.86 million Switches worldwide since the system launched in March 2017.
Nintendo managed to shift 6.9 million Switches in the same period (Q3) last financial year, with sales slowing in the system’s eighth holiday season on store shelves.
Software sales for this lucrative period were also down year-on-year, with 53.7 million sales compared to 66.87 million in Q3 2023/24.
Nintendo has modified its hardware sales forecast from 12.5 million to 11 million units for the financial year ending March 2025.
Nintendo’s most recent financial results show that sales of the Switch have now surpassed 150 million units.
With the launch of the system in March 2017, the company has sold 150,86 million switches globally, according to its quarterly results, which were released today. In the three months between October 1st and December 31st, 2024, 4.82 million Switch consoles were sold, broken down as follows.
OLED Switch Model: 2.57m.
Switch Light, 0.76m.
The switch is 1.48m.
Sony’s record of selling more than 160 million PlayStation 2s is still far off, but this puts the console less than 4 million units away from the Nintendo DS (154,02 million).
Though sales slowed during the system’s eighth holiday season on store shelves, Nintendo was still able to move 60.9 million Switches during the same time frame (Q3) of the previous fiscal year. Sales of software during this profitable time period were also lower than they were in Q3 2023–2024, coming in at 53.7 million as opposed to 66.87 million.
Nintendo has adjusted its hardware sales projection for the fiscal year ending in March 2025 from 12.5 million to 11 million units. The company points to the release of Super Mario Bros. and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Wonder was a major driver of sales in 2023, which helped to explain the relative year-over-year drop.
In order to support the company’s balance sheets later this year, all eyes are on the upcoming console and its unannounced games, which were first shown in a brief trailer in January.
Even though it doesn’t seem likely that Switch will surpass PS2’s record just yet, the aging platform will benefit from the news, and investors will probably be happy to know that Switch 2 is quickly approaching.
