Nintendo Switch At Least Has One Record Both Xbox and PlayStation Combined Couldn’t Beat

The gaming world has been buzzing with anticipation about Nintendo Switch 2 and how it will be the next big thing to shake up the industry. But before we all get caught up in the hype for the future, let’s take a moment to appreciate the Switch in its current form, because it’s easy to get distracted by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

’s current consoles have come close to beating it. What’s the record you might be asking? It’s the Switch’s sales record that both current generation Xbox and PlayStation combined still can’t touch.

over 143 million units worldwide. This makes it one of the best-selling consoles of all time (Only behind PS2 and DS). In contrast, the current-gen consoles from Sony and

As of now, the PlayStation 5 has

about 28 million units. This huge margin is startling, to say the least, and highlights the Switch’s overwhelming popularity across the globe, thanks to its portability and exclusive titles.

While some might point out that both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S were launched in 2020 and the Switch in 2017, the 3-year deficit doesn’t cover enough ground to make them competitive with or capable of surpassing the Switch. This highlights the fact that despite being newer, both consoles have struggled to keep up with the juggernaut, which is the Switch.

These figures might just be numbers, but they show that Nintendo’s unique approach to the hybrid console format has resonated with players around the world in ways that Sony and

have yet to replicate. If recent rumors are to be believed, it seems they now understand this and are looking to enter the handheld market as well.

With rumors floating around about the Switch 2 being released soon, Nintendo’s footing in the gaming market will only grow stronger, especially since it’s expected to bring advancements in performance, graphics, and features.

However, what truly sets it apart is its ability to build on the hybrid gaming model that made the original Switch such a hit. As a next-gen console, the Switch 2 will likely usher in a new era of gaming with even more flexibility and power, giving it an edge that the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will struggle to match.

With the inevitable release of new next-gen consoles from both Sony and

to compete with the Switch 2 and showcase its innovations, it’s hard to imagine how the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S could ever manage to catch up.

In the end, as the competition in the console market is heating up, it’s clear that the next few years might belong to Nintendo, especially if the Switch 2 lives up to the hype.
