During the quarantines of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most purchased console in the world was the Nintendo Switch, which tens of millions of people bought to accompany them during the months of confinement. Something that added to a constant sales rate after the return to the “new normal”, as well as the previous ones it had during its six years of life, have led Nintendo hardware to become the best-selling console of its generation.
This since according to its release date (March 2017), the Nintendo Switch is located between the generation of consoles that accompanies the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which, as we anticipate, have surpassed in sales. Information that Nintendo itself has delivered in the report of its quarterly results, where it is indicated that sales of Nintendo Switch in the third quarter of the fiscal year, reached the amount of 8.23 million units.

Sales that added to those that the console already had during its lifetime, leaves a final total of 122.55 million consoles sold, surpassing the units sold of the PlayStation 4, which reach a total of 117.2 million since its release date.
Numbers that keep the current Nintendo console as a total success, still being a highly desired gadget among gamers and the general public. All this despite the fact that compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch hardware is less powerful and keeps important releases out of reach, by not being able to run them like competing consoles do.
