The Switch surpassed Sony's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo's Game Boy/Game Boy Color as the third best-selling console of all time as of the end of 2022. It now stands behind only the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS (and if Nintendo's forecast is correct, the Switch will surpass the Nintendo DS in the next fiscal year).
Nintendo formally unveiled its Switch 2 system on January 16. The console will launch in many countries including the United States and Japan on June 5.
