This week, Switch reached its latest milestone in Japan. Total sales of the system are now at 19,410,000. That means Switch is now the sixth best-selling console of all time in the country.
The Famicom previously held that record having sold 19,350,000 units. Switch is expected to overtake the PS2 and PSP later this year, which are at 21,980,000 units and 19,690,000 units respectively.

March 2021 NPD: Switch was the best-selling hardware platform
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
This month’s NPD report brought plenty of news concerning software sales in the United States for February, but there are a few hardware tidbits as well. It’s now been revealed that Switch was the best-selling platform in terms of both units and dollars.
We’ll also mention that Switch was the unit sales leader in the first quarter of 2021 as a whole. PlayStation 5 came out on top in terms of dollar sales for the period, though it’s worth noting that the console costs more.
Mario Kart 8 now the best-selling racing game in U.S. history
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
Mario Kart 8 has reached a major milestone in the United States. According to the latest data from the NPD, it’s now the best-selling racing genre video game in U.S. history. NPD doesn’t indicate whether that information only includes the Switch version, but we’d assume the original Wii U title is lumped in as well.
It’s worth noting that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the sixth best-selling game in the U.S. last month. Despite being a few years old, it still manages to place high on the charts regularly.
