In the fierce console battle, Nintendo Switch leads with 150 million sales, compared to PS5's 75 million. Explore the latest trends in gaming hardware sales.
Sales Milestones for Consoles
According to the latest figures from VGChartz, the aging Nintendo console has astonishingly crossed the coveted milestone of 150 million units sold. This is a significant achievement, accomplished by only two other consoles in history: the PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo DS/3DS.
Currently, among modern consoles, the Nintendo Switch stands tall as the leader with an impressive total of 150.25 million units sold.
PlayStation 5's Performance
On the other hand, the PlayStation 5, which belongs to the newer ninth generation, ranks second with a sales total of 75.28 million consoles. This figure is only half of what Nintendo has achieved.
To round out the top three, we have the Xbox Series X|S, which has sold a relatively modest 32.73 million units. This number is notably half of the PS5 sales and a staggering five times less than that of the Nintendo Switch.
Sales Figures in 2025
Since the beginning of 2025, the PlayStation 5 has sold approximately 3.25 million units, while Nintendo Switch managed to sell around 1.63 million units. The Xbox Series X|S trails behind with only 0.73 million units sold. Nevertheless, in this age of mobile gaming, even these figures are commendable for traditional gaming systems.
