I was looking for this data in Nintendo’s recent quarterly results, but now we know: Nintendo has sold over 111 million Switch consoles so far.
According to a new filing related to those results, Nintendo has sold 111.08 million Switch consoles since its debut. This compares to 154.02 million units for the Nintendo DS, 101.63 million units for the Wii, 75.94 million units for the 3DS, and 13.56 million units for the Wii U.

When you look at all of the video game hardware that Nintendo has sold, that puts the Switch at number three all-time, as the Game Boy sold a total of 118.69 million units over time. So it’s reasonable to assume that Switch will move into the number two position sometime in the next year or so.
For those curious, Nintendo provides data for all of its hardware, including the Game Boy Advance with 81.51 million units, GameCube (21.74 million), Nintendo 64 (32.93 million), SNES (49.10 million), and NES (61.91 million).
Nintendo also provides data about its software sales. For example, Switch titles have sold 863.59 million units, placing them behind only the Wii (921.85 million) and Nintendo DS (948.76 million).
You gotta love this kind of transparency.
