Nintendo has sold 5.3 billion games in the last 39 years, making it one of the most successful software companies in history.

Nintendo has sold over 5 billion games in the last 39 years, from the NES to the Switch.

Nintendo is one of the most powerful entertainment companies in the world. Since the launching of the NES in 1983, the company's growing games hardware division has generated over $200 billion in revenue. Other figures are also surprising: in the last 39 years, Nintendo has shipped over 814 million units (it sold oversold 533 million handhelds alone).

Actual figures can only be found in software. Across all of Nintendo's declared product lines, the company has sold 5.318 billion games to date. This applies to all platforms, including the original NES, the DS, and the more recent Switch.

Nintendo Hardware Sales

In terms of both software and hardware, the Nintendo Switch is now Nintendo's third best-selling system. The Switch has just surpassed the Wii in terms of shipments, and it may potentially surpass the Wii's 920 million titles sold over the next two years.

Surprisingly, Sony has outsold Nintendo in terms of game sales. Sony has sold 5.646 billion units of software across all of its platforms since the PlayStation 1's introduction in 1997.
