The Nintendo Wii U was a dud. It wasn’t received warmly from critics or consumers and failed to even come close to the sales of its predecessor, the Nintendo Wii. When the Wii U’s follow-up landed — the Nintendo Switch — we were all skeptical Nintendo could create another huge hit.
Well, we were all wrong. As of December 31, 2021, Nintendo Switch sales hit 103.54 million units sold. That’s more than the Nintendo Wii, which hit a sales peak of 101.63 million units during its lifetime. This makes the Switch the company’s best-selling home console of all time. It also makes it the fastest-selling console across all brands, reaching 100 million units sold in under five years.
