Nintendo Switch Hits 155M, Nears PS2 Record (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Move over Nintendo DS, because the Nintendo Switch has just become the second best-selling games console of all time. It's now past 155 million sales, but still not quite toppled the legendary PlayStation 2. Meanwhile, the Switch 2, which launched in June 2025, is off to a strong start, hitting 17 million sales by the end of the year. Experts say that the original Switch exploded thanks to massive franchises like Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. And of course, the pandemic played a huge role. With people stuck at home, demand for a family-friendly handheld console was high. So will the Switch finally overtake the PS2? It's only around 5 million sales away from taking the crown.
