Nintendo Switch hardware sales pass Game Boy, PlayStation 4 - though fall year-on-year
Nintendo has now shifted a staggering 122m Switch consoles, enough to finally exclipse the Game Boy and PlayStation 4 .
Can Switch still rise further? Console sales are slowing - down 21 percent year-on-year - but it still seems possible, with sales of the Switch OLED model balancing out declining sales of the vanilla Switch and portable-only Lite.Software sales also slowed year-on-year, with seven percent fewer Switch games sold but a slight increase in sales of first-party games - published by Nintendo itself.
Splatoon 3 has also performed well, with a particularly strong showing in Japan. It has now passed the 10m units sold mark, outpacing sales of Splatoon 2. But the fact remains Nintendo Switch is now a six-year-old console - something evidenced too, perhaps, in the dwindling supply of first-party games currently still set to arrive on this generation of machine.
