The Nintendo Switch has broken another software record

Since its launch back in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has had a tremendous life, breaking all sorts of records and currently nipping at the heels of the PS2 for best-selling console of all time. Ahead of the launch of its successor, the Switch has achieved yet another record.

With a total of 21 games on the Switch currently having sold over 10 million copies, Nintendo’s console has managed to eke in another record ahead of the launch of its successor.

It was already well known that the Switch was one of the most successful consoles of all time software-wise, having sold more than 1.35 billion games, but even so this latest achievement is notable.

Of course, it is worth clarifying that game publishers do not always necessarily release sales figures for their games, and so this could be somewhat inaccurate. That said, given the fact that a title selling 10 million copies would certainly be worth bragging about, it is unlikely that there are any 10+ million sellers missing from the list.

Furthermore, having nearly two dozen 10 million sellers doesn’t quite tell the full picture, as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe alone has sold 67 million copies – with Animal Crossing: New Horizons closing in on 50 million.

Regardless, it’s safe to say that the Switch 2 has a great deal to live up to when it finally releases at some point (hopefully) this year. The full list of Switch games to surpass 10 million copies sold can be found HERE.
