Switch Outperforms Lifetime Wii Sales in America

From the moment it was launched in 2017, the Switch has enjoyed incredible popularity and strong sales figures, without experiencing the stock shortages that hampered Microsoft and Sony during the pandemic. This success has culminated in a significant achievement.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, the Switch has now exceeded the total sales figures of the immensely popular Wii in the US. The only two consoles that have outsold it are the Xbox 360 (by less than a million units) and the PlayStation 2 (by five million units). With the Christmas season on the horizon and a plethora of popular Nintendo titles available, we predict that it won't be long before the Switch becomes the top-selling video game hardware of all time in the US.
