Nintendo Switch is a true market monster and has shown the old sea wolf experience that the Japanese company has, as after the failure of the Wii U, the hybrid system became its best-selling home console. The results are impressive, and although the system is in its final stage, this only serves as a pretext to see everything it has achieved.
According to a report from TweakTown estimating all the money Switch has generated from console and game sales, Nintendo's business in this generation would be around $69 billion.
To give you an idea of what this unofficial figure represents, it's the same amount that Microsoft paid to acquire Activision Blizzard, meaning that we're facing a milestone in the industry since the Switch proposal broke through by offering unique content without depending on market trends.

Recently, the Japanese company reported that Switch has sold 125 million units since its launch in March 2017, while its total sales of copies to date exceed one billion, both physically and digitally, so there's no doubt that Nintendo made one of the best deals in the history of video games.
Currently, Switch is experiencing a last push thanks to the debut of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and it is expected to enjoy a final push during this year's holiday season, given that nothing has been revealed about Nintendo's new console and estimates are that it will be released in the second half of 2024.
