Nintendo Switch is arguably one of the must-have gadgets right now, with the PS4 sales rival flying off the shelves.
The PS4 is the most successful console this generation, selling a whopping 67.5million units so far.
This staggering number of sales came between the PS4’s launch in November 2013 and the end of September this year.
The PS4 is fast closing in on the lifetime sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360, which stands at 83.8million and 84million respectively.
It is already the sixth best-selling home console of all time, and analysts have predicted it could sell over 100million units in its lifetime.

But while the PS4 is winning the console wars at the moment, Sony will surely be keeping a close eye at what’s going on with their Kyoto-based rivals.
The Nintendo Switch, despite being hit by widespread stock shortages in the months following its launch, is selling like hot cakes.
In its first six months on sale, the Nintendo Switch has sold a mightily impressive 7.63million units.
This is more than half what the Wii U, its predecessor, sold during five years on sale.
And it looks like Nintendo have just laid down a massive signal of intent for its ambition with the Switch.
The Big N had originally targeted selling 10million Nintendo Switch’s within its first year on sale.
But that has now been ramped up to a target of 14million.
And The Wall Street Journal have reported Nintendo are now intending to ship between 25 and 30million Switch units during its second year on sale.
The WSJ said Nintendo could ramp up production numbers even further if sales around the busy Christmas period this year are strong.
The respected business paper cited sources who allegedly had direct knowledge of the plans.
In comparison, the PS4 sold 17.7million units during its second year on sale.
While the PS4, the best selling console of all time, sold 22.52million units in its most successful year.
If the Switch manages to sell over 25million during its second year on sale, that would be similar to the success the Wii had.
The Wii, Nintendo’s most successful home console, sold 25.94 million units in its second full fiscal year.
If Ninty are aiming for 25 to 30million Switch units sold during its second year, then it’s a huge statement of intent and lays down the marker to Sony.
Microsoft, the other big name player in the console wars, no longer give out official sales figures for the Xbox One.
However, a report in August estimated that the Xbox One has sold 30million units worldwide since its launch in 2013.
The PS4 is one of the fastest selling Sony consoles of all-time.
It’s bested by the PS2, which within its first four years on sale sold a frankly stupendous 81.39 million units.
The PS3, in comparison, had a slower start – selling around 33.71 million units in its first four years.
