The World’s Best-selling Video Game Consoles

Key takeaway

• Sony’s Playstation 2 is still the console king, with 160 million units sold
• The Nintendo Switch came very close to tying this record, but is now being replaced with the Switch 2

Switch 2 projections

Nintendo expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles in its first year of release, which is more than the original Switch (around 12 million).

With a price of $450 USD, the Switch 2 costs significantly more than its predecessor, and is priced more in line with the Playstation 5.
