The new title The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sold 18.51 million units during the first quarter, which not only significantly increased software unit sales, but also drove hardware sales,” Nintendo added in its report.It took six years for the Switch to claim third place in the best-selling consoles of all time chart, which saw it topple the Game Boy and Game Boy Color handhelds from that position. Currently, second place is held by the Nintendo DS family of handhelds (154 million lifetime sales) and the PlayStation 2 sits at the top of that console food chart with 155 million lifetime sales.Nintendo estimates that it will sell 15 million consoles during the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, which will comfortably secure the console’s current position on the charts.Can the Switch still hold on to its third place ranking in the next few years?
