Story Highlight

Having sold over 160 million units, PlayStation 2 is the most successful console in history. However, many still believe that the Nintendo Switch will eventually surpass the iconic console.

Why it matters: This is a massive milestone for the Switch, as the US has been one of the biggest markets for PlayStation.

Switch has sold over 46.6 million units in the US, making it the second-best-selling video game hardware. However, the Nintendo DS holds the top spot at the moment.

While the Switch has achieved another milestone, its sales have been declining, perhaps because fans are leaning more toward its upcoming successor.

Nintendo has already been working on Switch’s successors, and recent leaks have already revealed the console’s design. Other reports have suggested that it will be priced at $499.
