Nintendo Has Now Sold More Than 750 Million Games Consoles Worldwide

I got a Wii NX Cube and DS lying around.
So about half the line up then.

Edit: but I have had them all excluding that > thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Boy

Excellent news! Nintendo Switch will definitely outsell the Wii, I guarantee it! Outselling the DS, now that’ll be the icing on the cake!

Congratulations! You did it.

Faaaarken bell.

Wow, that’s nearly as many consoles as games I’ve bought, put on my shelf, then never played.

Yeah I own all of those. But where's the Virtual Boy? Mine just broke this year But of course I kept it, hopefully some day I can repair it.

The Switch doesn't count, it's clearly not a console.

It's a Party Box. For Party Games.

I’d love to see a breakdown by franchise.

so so much plastic

N64 was my first console ever in 1996, have had every Nintendo home and handheld console since (as well as the original game boy, game boy pocket, and game boy color) at one point or another. Right now I have a Switch, Wii U, 3DS, and GCN.
Can definitely see Switch reaching Wii levels (or just below) since there’s no real direct competitor for the same service, and it’ll be a cheaper alternative to the Sony and Microsoft consoles next year. I don’t think the sales of the DS and PS2 will ever be eclipsed, that’s the chunk that has their demand met through other technology these days.

The Wii U flopped hard.

Had: NES (R.I.P.), Wii (gave to friend)

Have: N64, Wii U, Switch, GBA, DS, 3DS, New 2DS XL, NES Classic, SNES Classic

My sister had the GameCube and my Wii was backwards compatible. I hacked my Wii U so I can play GC.

@SnesSwitch I'd like to see it outsell the Wii but that's a tall order

@Paraka how can you say that. I play mine on the tv as a console...and portable. 50/50.

I've owned every Nintendo console/handheld except for the NES/SNES/ Virtual Boy and 3DS. If not for being a Sega kid I'd have owned the first 2 as well.

@vitelus Very fun plastic

Virtual Boy - 0.8 million
NES Classic - 2.3 million
Color TV-Game - 3 million
Super NES Classic - 5.28 million

The sum isn't just "slightly higher" if you count all the systems, it's 11.38 million higher which means the title is misleading. But over 760 million sold units is even more impressive.

Currently in our home: 2 switches, 1 wiiU, 2 Wii, 1 Gamecube, one of each from 3ds family and ds family, OG gameboy, gameboy colour, 2 gameboy advanced

@Joe-b,

Because he's a troll.

@johnvboy yah, sounds it

I have had most consoles/handhelds except the enhanced Game Boys (but have the Game Boy Color and first Game Boy), the first Game Boy Advance, the Game Boy Micro, the later DS models and the Wii U.

What about the Game & Watch?! Surely a few million of those shifted too, would we consider that hardware though?!

I've had them all apart from Virtual Boy (didn't even know it was out at the time) and, bizarrely, the N64. Think I had just started work and was into handheld gaming at the time - GameBoy and GameBoy Color. Every single one has had a fair number of top games that had that Nintendo magic sprinkled on them. Pretty consistent company and ethos I would say.

@vitelus I hear a dolphin washed up and when they checked it's stomach it had 2 GameCubes, a Wii and the remaining stock of Wii U in it. Sad.

25 consoles for me
1 nes
2 snes
2 n64
1 Gc
1 wii
1 wii u
3 switches (one lite)
1 GB
2 GB pockets
1 GB color
1 ds phat
1 DS lite
1 Dsi
1 3ds
1 3ds xl
1 2ds
1 N3ds
1 2dsXL
1 nes mini
1 snes mini

@johnvboy - Or, you know, mocking the dismissiveness of others.

But I guess it works here too.

Strangely (or not), I own all of these except the Switch. That will change at some point in the future though.

Nintendo has been a pretty big part of my life and I'm ok with that. Absolutely insane thinking just how much they've sold. Currently have NES, snes classic, n64, switch, gameboy colour, gba sp, ds phat, og 3ds, and 3ds xl. If the opportunity presents itself I would definitely pick up the cube and snes

I think the Switch will have a lot of longevity, like the DS. Would not be surprised if it is still selling well three or four years from now. Could well hit 100M eventually.

@Paraka That's some party man! WOOOHOO!

I own all the Nintendo systems. Including the two mini consoles and gasp.... the Virtual Boy!

@Ghost-Piece wow, yeah that is impressive! Thanks

Own or have owned at least one version of every Nintendo aside from Virtual Boy.

Totally deserves! First to reach the 1 billion!!!

I have :
1. Switch
2. Wii U
3. Wii
4. Gamecube games
5. 3DS
6. NDS
7. GBA games

I have a little bit interest to get nostalgia with :
1. SNES
2. NES

I skip N64 entirely for not so interesting games library than other Nintendo machines. I choose PS1 over than N64 in term of games library, media storage and controller design. Also, N64 machine and controller design were the worst in my opinion.

Congrats Nintendo! For a company that just had their 130th birthday in September, that is really cool. I've had or still own most of their consoles and had almost all of the handhelds. I have a crap ton of games because I am single and spend it all on games. :/ Anyway, I will always follow you Nintendo, so keep on keeping on.

Every console since N64 sans redesigns.

Well, For me

N64
Game Cube
Wi
WiiU
Switch (still have)
DS
3DS (still have)

@Dellybelly

Well, For me

PS1
PS2
PS3
PS4 (still have)
PSP (still have)
VITA (still have)

@Paraka Sarcasm doesn't always translate through text. Annoying, but sometimes inevitable :/

I own and still have a base version of everything up top, plus
gameboy pocket
GBA SP
DS lite
2DS XL
PS1
PS2
PS3
PS3 - thin model
PS4
Oh... and a virtual boy

@Andrew5678 - I was hoping the whole Party Anything would been a dead giveaway since this was on the heels of the Smash Bros. news.

My love for Nintendo started in the 1980s. I owned a NES and a truckload of NES games. I will always associate the movie “The Wizard” with the NES as well, I grew up watching that movie MANY times. I loved it because “it’s so bad”.😄
Since then the other Nintendo consoles that I have owned have been: the N64, the Wii and now the Switch.
As for handhelds, I have owned a Game Boy Advance, a few DSs, a few 3DSs and a NEW 3DS. I never had an original Game Boy but both of my little sisters had one each. I used to steal (um,.. borrow) theirs. Most of the time (unless we went on holidays) I just used to play the NES instead.

people may call the gamecube a failure but for me it's a success just look at its great games

I had all the Nintendo home consoles except for the WiiU. Still have GB and GBA but never owned a DS. Those DS numbers are pretty staggering.

Everything except the virtual boy

The Gamecube deserved better. I have owned them all, minus the Switch. I'll probably treat myself for Christmas though 😁

I started with the NES in '88 and have had every Nintendo console since (excluding the ill-fated Virtual Boy). They all still work and are still hooked up.

Not much longer before the Switch passes the good ol' SNES.

Eh, they're still doomed.

Awesome. Nintendo will reach 1 billion someday.

I have both of them

@JasmineDragon hehe!

What a doomed failure of a company. I tried to keep them going by buying and loving the following. I still very much want a Virtual Boy.

NES
SNES
N64
GAMECUBE
WII
WIIU
SWITCH
GAMEBOY:
DMG
COLOR
LIGHT
POCKET
ADVANCE
ADVANCE SP
DS
SNES MINI
NES MINI

I think the Switch will shift between 70 to 90 million consoles, 90 being a stretch, Nintendo is riding a cool wave here, they have no real portable competition and the PS4 is winding down and gearing up for its next generation console.

I own/owned
N64
Gamecube
Wii
GBA
GameBoy
DS
3DS
Switch.

Had at least one edition of every Nintendo console:
NES
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64
Gamecube
Wii
Wii U
Nintendo Switch
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance SP
Gameboy Micro
Nintendo DS
Nintendo DS Lite
Nintendo 3DS
New Nintendo 3DS
Good times. 😌

@Paraka,

Sorry fella did not reaslize you were joking, I always use with my joking comments, just so people do not get the wrong end of the stick as it were.

@Andrew5678,

It comes across pretty easy if you include , at the end of the comment.

@Razer,

I think looking at it's performance thus far the Switch should sell 100 million, and you have to take into account the inevitable price cut and the release of a pro model at some point, the console has momentum with the masses so the release of the next gen machines from Sony and Microsoft will not make much of a difference.

@RareFan yes and espcially with the cheap gamepad... the display wow that was low quality and very expensive to buy. 100 euro I remember for just 1 gamepad with screen. It wasn't even at good resolution. But then again like I said before... Nintendo is aiming to children. A child won't demand as much as an older person. But most of us who were children when Nintendo 8 bit came out and now we're older and seeing stuff like this isn't really groundbreaking. The WII U didn't get much support at all from 3rd party. That system was way behind... just more ram than xbox 360 but powerwise it was just as good as xbox 360 they said

@Dellybelly Sony is just a giant megacorps who bought its success through identitary marketing and smear campaigns against competitors. The fact they didn't manage yet to eat a dwarf company like Nintendo shows their incompetency.

@YozenFroghurt Awesome, thanks for the heads up!
