The PlayStation 2 is the most popular and most sold console in history, but do you know what is about to take over it, at least from current statistics and in Japan. That’s right, Nintendo’s very own blockbuster this year, the Nintendo Switch.

According to SwitchSoku, who got their stats from Famitsu. The Nintendo Switch is keeping pace with the PS2 in Japan. While the PS2 went off with a strong start, its sales tapered towards the end of the year. The Nintendo Switch instead went on consistently strong.

Month PS2 (Released 4 March 2000) Nintendo Switch (Released 3 March 2017 March 885,023 Units 524,371 Units April 512,953 Units 234,817 Units May 227,725 Units 127,314 Units June 298,880 Units 129,971 Units July 367,190 Units 294,311 Units August 223,822 Units 254,489 Units September 157,613 Units 168,810 Units October 116,440 Units 307,138 Units November 62,025 Units 372,619 Units December 164,950 Units 574,559 Units (For First 3 Weeks) Total 3,016,622 Units 2,988,399 Units (From Launch to 17 December 2017)

At the current rate, the Nintendo Switch’s current sales result of 2,988,399 Units is poised to overtake the PS2’s 3,016,622 Units for the first year. I don’t know what do you call such success but if the Switch successfully overtakes the most sold console in history’s first year, I think Nintendo can try and keep up the momentum and, hopefully, make the Nintendo Switch the Most Sold Console in History!
