The Nintendo Switch surpassed the Wii globally in February 2022, with sales of the latter at 101.63 million. During its most recent financial update, in June 2023, the Japanese company had announced that Nintendo Switch sales were at 129.53 million.
The Wii was particularly popular in North America, where it sold over 48 million systems. That’s why it took the Switch longer to overtake it in this area.
