The Nintendo Switch is on its way to becoming one of the best-selling consoles of all time

The Nintendo Switch was released in October 2016, before it became globally available in March 2017. The hybrid console was well received and is now on its way to becoming one of the best-selling consoles of all time.

Nintendo recently announced, as part of its financial report, that the Switch console had sold 79.87 million units after 46 months spent on the market. This is largely comparable to the results achieved by the PS4 (~ 67 consoles sold), PS2 (69.5 million), and Wii (~ 75 million) after 46 months of release.
