6.63 Million to go for the world record! I thought they will reduce price of Switch after Switch 2 launched but it has remained same (not counting NA where they increased it).
Do you think Switch can reach #1 most sold console?
P.S: Only 0.02 million to cross DS and reach #2.
6.63 Million to go for the world record!
You mean about 5 million to go before Sony “finds” another 5 million PS2’s that they sold but completely forgot about lol. As of right now, the Switch has 100% already outsold the PS2, probably by about 20 million. Take Sony’s picture they released almost 10 years after the long agreed upon 155mil total PS2 sales figure was given, conveniently just as the Switch started looking like it would break the 155mil record:
This means that they produced 160 million PS2s. Not sold - produced. I personally had 2 PS2 replacements for free from Sony, so 2 of those 160 million produced were not sold. With how widespread the PS2 issues were - and remember that Sony lost multiple class action lawsuits over their hardware failures - millions upon millions of those 160 million produced consoles were given away as replacements.
We don’t know how many Switch consoles Nintendo have produced, just how many they have sold - though obviously they could also count produced as sold like Sony do. Sony confirmed their position, Nintendo haven’t - so at this stage we have to assume the Switch is the best selling console of all time.
Do you think Switch can reach #1 most sold console?
I’m sure PlayStation will find some more sold units somewhere again if they do 😅
I think it’ll definitely pass the DS though.

lol, that was a very interesting move from PlayStation 😀

Even after reports that Nintendo had remotely bricked people’s legally purchased Switch 2s because they had tried to play second-hand but official Switch 1 game cartridges on them
you got sources for this? I have never heard anyone having their switch 2 bricked remotely. Getting banned from online services is one thing (which they’ve been doing for years) , and a bricked console is another.
The only remotely related thing I’ve heard is one case of someone getting banned for purchasing a second hand game which the original owner had copied illegally. But it was quickly cleared up and they got unbanned.
There’s a lot of news about this floating around.
https://www.thegamer.com/nintendo-bricking-switch-2-consoles-over-buying-keys-third-party-sellers/
https://www.gadgetmatch.com/nintendo-switch-2-lawsuit-bricked-consoles/
… are just a few examples.
You made a distinction’s between bricking and banning from online services which I don’t believe is relevant, given that Switch 2 game cartriges don’t actually contain games but only download codes. A Switch 2 that can’t access online services isn’t just banned from online multiplayer and Virtual Console. They also can’t install or update games. Whatever is on it when it gets banned is all that will ever be on it legally. This is bricking by an obtuse path, but it’s bricking all the same. And several people had this happen to them who did absolutely nothing wrong. But even if every last one of them had personally pirated the entire Switch 1 and 2 catalogs, that still doesn’t justify a company handicapping a person’s private property without any sort of due process.
About the examples, most of them are about general ToS change. There was lot of uproar when Nintendo updated it (just a note that both PS and Xbox has this clause for years, though that doesn’t mean Nintendo is right to add it too), the actual banning news is just one source from reddit.
It is possible there were other cases, but I don’t recall reading any news about it.
Switch 2 game cartridges don’t actually contain games but only download codes
This is partially true. Switch 2 has both Game Key Cards that only have the game license, and also normal cartridges. It’s up to devs and publishers what they use. Cyberpunk 2077 is a big example of game that was fully on cart, and it’s not the only example. Currently though, there are more GKC games then full cart games, but people are vocal about it, so let’s see how it goes.
So, a banned account can play all the games that are fully on cart, as well as all the Switch 1 games, of which about 99.9% (or something like) work on Switch 2, and more are still releasing.
That being said:
that still doesn’t justify a company handicapping a person’s private property without any sort of due process.
I completely agree with this. As they say, better to let 10 guilty escape then let 1 innocent suffer. Nintendo apparently never heard of that.
Well, we agree on the important part but tou seem to be more on top if the news than me. Thanks for the clarifications.
