Switch is under 1.5 million units away from besting PS2's U.S. sales
Can this holiday make it happen?
The Switch juggernaut continues to move millions of units worldwide, and there’s no doubt the system will keep up its steady sales this holiday season following a rather fantastic Nintendo Direct. The thing is, if sales are strong enough in the U.S. this holiday season, Nintendo could see the Switch claim another record.
According to Circana’s Mat Piscatella, the Switch is well within striking distance of the PS2’s total sales in the U.S.. According to Piscatella, as of May 4th, 2024, the Switch is just 1.41 million units away from surpassing the PS2’s hardware sales total in the United States. With Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree and plenty of other games coming this year, it seems quite likely the Switch will best the PS2’s total.
If the Switch does surpass PS2 sales in the U.S., that would make it the second best-selling piece of hardware in the region. The only other platform it would have to surpass is another Nintendo release, the Nintendo DS.
