The Nintendo Swi🌞tch has surpassed the lifetime sales of the 🐟PS4.

As reported earlier today on February 7 in the company's latest , Nintendo announced that the Switch had achieved 122.55 million lifetime sales, as of December 31, 2022. That puts the handheld console well past the PS4's liꦍfetime sales, which were to be 117.2 million.

This ultimately means the Nintendo🐻 Switch is the third best-selling console of all time. The switch is behind the Nintendo DS in second place at 154.02 million units sold, which itself is barely b🥃eaten out by the classic PS2 with 155 million lifetime units sold. 

The Switch still has a fair distance to go if it wants to be the number one best-selling console of all time, then. Considering recent rumors claimed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码🐠历史查询:Nintendo could reveal a Nintendo Switch succeﷺssor as soon as next year𝓀 in 2024, it's looking doubtful the console could reach the lofty heights of the DS and PS2.

It's not unreasonable to expect the Switch to get a slight sales boost when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ历史查询:The Legend of Zelda: Tꦜears of the Kingdom launches later this year on May♍ 12. The long-awaited follow-up to Breath of the Wild, which itself is the Switch's fourth best-selling game of all time, should shif༒t consoles for Nintendo.
