Nintendo Switch may be getting a big boost soon in its battle for sales with the PS4 and Xbox One. Compared to the PS4 and the Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch is the newest kid on the console block. Ninty’s hugely popular hybrid system has been out for just over two years while the PS4 and Xbox One are approaching six years on sale. But despite this the Switch has made huge headway into the console market, grabbing a big chunk of it since it released in 2017.
The most recent sales figures put the Switch as selling over 32million units between its launch in March 2017 and the end of 2018.
This is compared to the PS4 - the most popular console of this generation - which is approaching the 100million units sold marker.
Microsoft doesn’t reveal sales figures for the Xbox One anymore, but analysts predict it has sold around 41million units up until the end of 2018.
If accurate, this means the Switch is fast closing in on the number of Xbox One units sold despite being on sale for almost four years less.
