Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch has now sold 103m units which means that it has overtaken the Nintendo Wii as Nintendo’s best selling console of all time. It also now overtakes the PlayStation 1 which sold 102m units. As far as consoles go, it still has the PS4 (116.6 million) and PlayStation 2 (155 million) in front of it.
The Nintendo Switch selling 103m units is also significant as it’s now the fastest selling console to hit the 100m mark of all time.
