Nintendo Switch sales are much faster than Sony PS4

It is worth mentioning that June 2022 is the 64th month of the Switch release, while the 64th month of the PS4 release is February 2019. In the 64th month of the Sony PS4 release, the total global sales of the console were 93.75 million units. Sony PS4 actually hit 110 million units in the 79th month of its release.

In addition, the Switch has outsold the PS4 by 4.94 million units in the past year,Ā and after the Switch’s 33rd month on sale, Sony’s PS4 has never outsold the Switch in a single month.Ā Therefore, according to the current trend, it is only a matter of time before the total global sales of Switch will break the Sony PS4 record. It may even reach 155 million units, surpassing the highest sales in history created by the Sony PS2.
