While that’s faster than the Nintendo Switch, currently at 157.2 million lifetime units, it’s down significantly from the previous quarter (3.82 million). In terms of software, the Switch 2 sold a whopping 15.04 million while the Switch 1 sold 610,000. That’s as sure a sign as any that most fans have moved on.
