About this chart

The original Nintendo Switch has sold 156.59 million units as of June 30, 2026, which puts it past the Nintendo DS (154.02 million) and just below the PlayStation 2, credited with more than 160 million. The chart tracks cumulative units at each quarter-end from 2017, including the Lite and OLED models: 2.74 million by March 2017, 17.79 million by March 2018, 103.54 million by December 2021 and 150.86 million by December 2024.

Growth has flattened. The Switch added only 0.67 million units in April to June 2026, going from 155.92 million to 156.59 million.
