The original Switch is officially Nintendo’s best-selling console of all time after surpassing the DS handheld in lifetime sales. In its latest earnings release, Nintendo reports that the Nintendo Switch has, as of December 31, 2025, sold 155.37 million units since its launch in 2017, compared to 154.02 million units for the 2004 Nintendo DS.

I am not surprised. I was always more a fan of portable consoles and the switch combining portable play with normal console play on TV is really a dream come true. The variety of games is a huge plus too.

A fact that is often missed is also the game state. Be it saved games or a game in standby, I can just take it with me. Of course cloud save tries to do this but does not succeed fully and (worse) locks it behind a subscription.

So whether I move to another room or go on vacation, the switch is an easy decision to take with me, making it a win there.

Yep. Steam Deck does a great job with this, too.
