Best Selling Nintendo Consoles 1988 - 2020
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2020
- This visualization shows the performance of each Nintendo console starting from the Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer up to July 2020. Although the video starts in 1988 I included all the NES and Famicom units sold since 1985. I split Game Boy and Game Boy Color numbers because the cartridges were not compatible. As you can see, the Nintendo DS was a massive hit, selling tons of units within a few years. The Switch also seems to be performing similar to the DS, mainly because it's a portable and a home console.

UPDATE: It's estimated that in early August 2020 the Nintendo Switch surpassed the Nintendo Entertainment System
I agree, but until official numbers are released, it's just speculation.
@@jrrr9219 nar it deffo has lol, we dont really need confirmation
@@brandonmoore4968 First, horrible english. Second, you do. You need facts and factually it hasn't surpassed it.
@@jrrr9219 It was just officially confirmed it has sold +61M units, near 3DS Numbers (but that one keeps growing for some reason)
@@ilan_profile 61.44 million. The NES is 61.91. I'm pretty sure it already surpassed it, but until Nintendo confirms it, it's not official.
DS: Exist
GB Advance: *Why do i hear boss music?*
@supermegakostaTV yep, any problem?

Yeah why does it hear boss music when the DS and DS lite supports GBA Games.
DS: Don’t worry, u can still play ur games on me!
GBA: Phew!
I wonder why the GameCube was so low it had so many great games. Metroid, multiple Zelda games, pokemon, smash melee, Mario kart DD. Hmm🤔
Duke _ Yeah, it’s a shame. I loved my GameCube. I didn’t have many games for it but I had Colosseum and XD so I was happy. :)
PS 2 thats all i can say
People were fascinated by the fact that the PS 2 could play DVD and had a lot of features other than gaming.So most of the time it was not bought for its main purpose...But the gamecube had the best exclusive games out of any console id say
Low sales, bc everyone at the time was dumb dumbs 😂😂 (kidding don't flame me)
It was too expensive because of the mini discs that they used.In latin america, ps2 was the king because you could buy hacked games for less than 2 dollars 🤣
THATS WHAT IM SAYING! I'm always so surprised cuz like.. so many beloved games came from the GameCube like Melee, Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Double Dash, all those Mario Partys, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Heroes, Thousand Year Door, the list goes on! And it's so frequently talked about within the Nintendo fandom, heck we still use GameCube controllers cuz we loved how it felt for Melee so much for goodness sake! I don't get it... I mean there's no way it sold as well as the Wii or DS but it's lower than the N64 and just barely above Wii U... what?!
am i the only one who's actually offended that the gamecube did so poorly? that was my childhood :((
My uncle bought a gc for me when im was 5 and i didnt even know how these stuff works lol
No
But it hasnt got a goddamn memory card so i cant save anything
ps2 destroyed it and the xbox

GameCube: I'm so low :(
Wii U: _Excuse me?_
2DS: *Are you talking to me?*
Virtual Boy: *_ᵂᵉˡᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉ ᶜˡᵘᵇ_*
GameCube and Wii U are great underrated consoles. 2DS is just a 3DS revision like the Series S and the Virtual Boy actually sucked.
I love the GameCube
New Nintendo 3DS XL: uhhh am I old?
Nintendo Gamecube: yes, very.

@SuperMarioGamer 85 were talking about *Nintendo*
the 2ds and 3ds should be grouped together
I have same question. Because 2DS can play almost all of the 3DS games. Same as the Switch and Switch lite. You out Switch and Switch lite together. So, 3DS and 2DS should be in the same place.
@@CHCOOBOO exactly. That's like separating the DS and DS lite
Idk I thought it was a dumb idea releasing 2ds so they really should separate the 2 since one is more pointless than the other
@@adamwebb8114 it doesn't matter what u think. They are different iterations of the same system with the same games, they should not be separate.
@@adamwebb8114 also, my is Adam too
The DSi was my childhood console, still have it and play from time to time, my brother played with it for some years after me too! I remember when the Nintendo 3DS was out, everyone wanted to have it but it was too expensive and when we saw a kid with it we wanted to watch him play, it was a great experience back them for us..
Wait just a random kid?
Well I hope you were eventually able to get a 3Ds after the price cut
Poor GameCube, what an underrated system
I loved both of my Gamecubes, and I regret selling them on EBay (I did it just to save space for relocation). I got my first Gamecube just to play Resident Evil IV. I loved the way the controller would violently "shake" at certain points in the game where it was trying to "shock" me.
I also loved playing Call of Duty II: Big Red One on it. I also thought those Gamecube "mini-discs" were so cool. They were unique among all the other full-sized game discs on the market.
I later got a Wii, but I liked the GameCube controller better.
Wii U as well imo
@@ianeons9278 i swear you've said this before and i said based last time im going crazy
i love Nintendo Wii in 2013, now, i love Nintendo Switch in 2019/20
Ok nice!
Same😊
Shano Wali me too😢😔
Wii U in the background
Asc3end it was an ok console just bad games and also trash marketing
This is an *Antiwar*
I’m sorry but I gotta say it’s *an*
@@Pickleeeee lol edit after one month
The DS& Wii are my childhood I’ll never forget it
Still gaming on my GameCube and N64! Fantastic consoles!
Nintendo switch 2024: 127,000,000.
Time traveler: what are you doing?
Me: waiting for the reveal of the second player for the fighter pass in smash bros.
TT: which fighter pass? Second, third or fourth?
Me: 😱
But still not first.
Nintendo DS: 154,020,000
@@unchris
I doubt there will be a third fighter pass, but I would welcome it.
Also, I think I'd rather have Sakurai relax for a bit so we can then get a new Kid Icarus game (hopefully)
DSN Ps2 155,000,000
It's impossible, maybe. This is a smartphone era.
Can we all just appreciate Nintendo for all this and the all the actors for all these amazing characters!
I first started playing Nintendo games on the ds, and 10 years later I still have it. Those were good times.
I finally collected all 120 stars in Super Mario 64 today! Took me 24 years to achieve, I think I deserve a like.
yup!
Airtime Signs oh my good for u
Although I completed FULL Mario Galaxy in 2 months I think I a give u a like too
*now do it again in two weeks*
Jesus
now I actually feel bad for peach
Lightning [ThatOneBasicArtist] facts
My favorite is the N64 because I grew up with it. The switch is also very cool!
I still use my 64 today.
Aww thats cool, I unfortunately wasnt even born when the N64 came out so I never got to grow up with it, I grew up with GBA SP, and DS Lite, around that era; and speaking of N64 I cant believe it sold more than the GameCube! It's such a good well known console with such unique and well known and loved games.. what happened? D:
@@amytheprettyweirdfangirl3786 Well, time goes. And some games are still played and really memorable, such as Super Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and other stuff.
@@renav2100 Oh yeah I know! The N64 was revolutionary for its time, I understand that, but most people play these games through Virtual Console or through mods or stuff on computers or emulators, I was talking about the original sells, at the very least, I didnt know it did better than GameCube. If it sold so bad (and the games are the least common to find) why do so many people talk about and love GameCube games and even the controller so much?
@@amytheprettyweirdfangirl3786 Well the main reason why the GameCube controller is so loved is because its ideal for any Super Smash Bros Game. The GameCube is loved also for games like Super Smash Bros Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, etc.
In recent news, The Nintendo Switch has outsold the NES.
3DS: "Why do I hear boss battle music?"
The n64, the ds, and the wii were my entire childhood
When I was a teenager my nintendo Wii died.😥
😭😭 were u able to recover save?
Tayshon Johnson, everyone has Nintendo switches, then, where’s mine >:’v
Tayshon Johnson, It’s hard to gain more than 700 dollars a month in my country, and I actually gain like 400 dollars each month
Tayshon Johnson, thx dude, I will 💪
When I was about 7 I forgot my ds on an other freakin country
But we contacted the hotel and they dented it back to as thankfully
I really liked the Wii U, and I liked that I could still play my old Wii games on it, it sucks that Nintendo didn’t know how to market it because it had some great games.
Seeing this video makes me remember part of my childhood. I still remember playing day and night with the NES which was my first nintendo
The gamecube was so underrated
so as wii u
but face it ds and wii are the best
so as da switch
DS: Nothing can stand up to my power.
Switch: I hear a challenge.
switch:nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo my power
ds:ez
kahyi khor what?
Although the switch is great and I love it not even Thanos is powerful enough to surpass the DS’s greatness
Switch hasn’t outdone the DS...
For now.
Sans Vans nothing will ever outdone it
My first Nintendo console was the Wii and I had a great time with it.
Same
Same
Same
My first Nintendo console was the GameCube, I got it for my 8th birthday in 2001 I think. My other friends already had Nintendo 64
My 8-year-old niece and 6-year-old nephew used to love watching me play Red Steel. And I loved acting out my male fantasy of being the Knight in Shining Armor on that game.
Furthermore, the Wii was the first video game console I had - that even my parents played! They wanted nothing to do with my 2600, Genesis, Playstation, or Gamecube. But they actually liked playing tennis on the Wii.
I started crying after seeing that the wii stoped selling. R.I.P Nintendo Wii, we will miss you...😭😭😭
Same. 😢
Your videos are splendid! Thank you for giving me a new perspective to contemplate!
my first console was wii u and I got new super mario bros u on it as my first game
NES was discontinued only in 1995 and in 2003 in Japan, not in 1991
N64 was released in 1996, not 1998
SNES also was discontinued in Japan only in 2003
GameCube was released in 2001, not 2003
Wii was released in 2006, not 2008
Switch already sold 50mln units as of start of 2020
Maybe this person lives in Europe, or Australia, or *some other place in the planet that gets things late*
@@WubbaDubba198 I highly doubt Europe gets consoles 2 years after Japan and America
@@Aureus07 Well Europe gets Games a year after Japan and America so there's a possibility.
@Fluffynator dude, you can litterally look it up
Leek Animations bruh Australia i can agree on but in Europe they get games same time as North America
I literally just saw your general consoles video, subscribed, then coincidentally found your new consoles video released, now on just Nintendo lol.
I’ll never forget my Nintendo back in 87 . Super Nintendo in 91 and 95 . , the 64 back in 96 , my game cube back in 2001 , my Wii back in 2006 . Then my switch ,2018 , yes I had the Wii U but only played 7 games .
Switch has now overtaken the NES, lol.
Needs an update... Someday.
I was planning to get a Microsoft XBox Series S with my stimulus money, but the store declined my credit card. Then I later found out that Microsoft got "woke", so now I think I will get a Switch instead.
Switch is now at 84mil lol
Can we just take one moment to appreciate nintendo for all they have done for us
No
@@jomo3564 you are gay
The NES actually did restore the broken video game industry after its crash in the '80s.

GameboyAdvance: U sure
NintindoDS:Passes everyone
Gameboy: Whos this guy

The music always makes me feel nostalgic
Your music is awesome.
It really is
Do you have sources for these numbres? I haven’t seen figures for separated GB and GBC sales anywhere else.
That music fits so perfectly. I play the song now when im late for work... it helps me to focus.
Thank you for doing what you do! It's entertaining, and a much needed distraction from news while, still being trivia-ish.
Great upload Cap!
My favorite Nintendo consoles are Wii, Wii U, DSi, 3DS, & Switch
💙
The Wii u was underated
@@Thirdfolkloresister cause Wii U is shit
@@jorgem.9690 just because it didn’t sell good doesn’t mean it’s shit and... I have a switch lite and I can proudly say that the wii u had better online plus it’s free have you seen mario maker 2 it’s literally a fucking power point and don’t get me started on splatoon 2 it’s a fucking pay2play you had no childhood
@Krzysztof Matula and btw if it wasn’t for the wii u that switch that you have wouldn’t exist
3:21 Rip Gameboy advence!😭
I like how you do these videos 😁
GOOD . THANK YOU .
1:47 The Nintendo 64 actualy released in 29th of september 1996,nobody in the comments is talking about that
There is a reason: The Nintendo DS is the best Nintendo Handheld console of all time
IKR THE BEST HANDLETTE AND CONSOLE RLY HAD A FUN TIME WITH IT
I had a game boy pocket but I loved my game boy advance. So many awesome games on that console.
I love how all of them go straight over the virtual boy
Wii: you can't defeat me
Wii U:I know but he can
*Nintendo switch entered the chat*
Nintendo DS created the chat
*DS has also entered the chat*
The wii u is better then wii imo
I hated that the Super NES eventually beat my Sega Genesis back in the early '90s. But I can take pride that the Wii I got later on went on to surpass the Super NES. I remember shopping for a Wii on Thanksgiving 2009. It was sold out in the first store I visited.
Nintendo: **makes millions dollars**
Also Nintendo: **Can’t fix Nintendo switch online**
100% real and approoved by nasa
I really like the music
Well at least some of us can say we took part in this video
When it comes to portable gaming Nintendo just kills it. I remember when the DS came out it was just amazing! I used to play on it every lunch time.
I am kind of curious what the switch numbers look like now after animal Crossing because that must have sold a lot of lite units.
Nintendo ds: allow me to introduce myself
Thanos be like: I fear no man
But I do fear one console
Alexis Georgiadis I fear no man, but that thing * Nintendo ds*, It scares me
I had three of these. The Wii for my childhood, the Wii U after that and then the Switch was where I got serious about it. And now I have PC and Switch that I game on.
I feel bad for u lmao 😂 imagine not knowing how the DS/3ds era was like . And the GameCube
So satisfying to watch
Especially with that mfing music! Slaps!
Wii U was good
Yo the nes was the best selling nintendo console at its time wow
yeah... it was the ONLY nintendo console at the time... unless you count the color-game-TV series... dark times.
@@tan_nerd07 u hear that sound it goes wooosh because u missed the joke
Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Duck Hunt...those 4 boosted sales
no
yo the ds was the best selling Nintendo console at its time wow
Nintendo Switch, as of August 6th, 2021:
89.04 Million units sold
The DS and Wii were Nintendo's golden age...
Lo que hizo NES es lo más meritorio de la historia del videojuego, vender 60 millones de ud. en los 80 y 90, el resto de lo que vino después con Snes, Smd, PSX etc es historia.....
@Ean Elijah De Guzman( In my opinion) What NES did is the most meritorious in the history of the video game, selling 60 million units. In the 80s and 90s (when the videogame was a little industry) , the rest of what came after with Snes, Smd, PSX is history .....
And revived the videogames
@@supportsciencistgaming4761 yeah
If the switch continues in the direction it's heading then we're looking at a possible new bestselling Nintendo console.
The switch has sold 55 million hardware units in its first three years whilst the Wii only sold 22 in that span. meaning the switch could sell 150M+ units. Not saying it will happen just saying it's possible.
Well, Switch barely has something interesting this year, if this continues, a lot of people will sell it for a PS5 (including myself)
Yeah and Nintendo said the the switch's lifespan will be 10 years so it will most likely surpass Nintendo ds
@@BurritoGaming PS5 is AWESOME!
BurritoGaming yea sure its not like the legendary of zelda breath of the wild 2 is coming lol
N64, Game Cube, wiiU are my childhood, good days...
I had a good chuckle when the virtual boy came into screen 😂
1:14 awwww god come on
Esta parece una pelicula me e emocionado y todo. QUE FINAL E-PI-CO
por fin un hispanohablante aquí xd
Nintendo is apart of my childhood. I had the DS (dont know what happened to it but I remember it was glossy and light pink with a paw print). Then I have a hot pink DSi thats still playable (I lost the stylus and have to play with some other one). Then there's the Wii thats been in my livingroom for over 12 or so years. Have a ton of games on there that I love. Took a break for a few years to play on my xbox and now I just bought the Nintendo Switch. Bought 5 games and gonna buy some more down the road.
Wii + DS were my childhood, for me, DS is like a N64 portable with more capacity and the wii like a gamecube but "updated" plus nintendo was on his best era, who doesnt remember the iconic DS sound or wii plaza theme? Man best consoles ever
3:19 GBA: Finally! I made it to the top!
DS: Helo.
GBA :l
I feel so bad for the Wii U. I really liked that console!
Move on to the switch already kid
@@jorgem.9690 The Switch has
• a bad online service
• a cluttered unfinished user interface
• controllers that lag, drift, or flat-out don’t respond
• higher priced and underwhelming previous generation games (lacking original ideas)
• No virtual console to buy old games
• No web browser, streetpass, Miiverse, or really anything fun to play with

I grew up with the DS
I played with it nonstop for 10+ years and I’m 15 that means that I played with it my whole life

Unknown User yeah I know ds is so awesome
I got mine for my fourth birthday and still play it
My favorite game was Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Brothers
Alexis Georgiadis Yeah, these two were my favorite games as well together with Pokemon Platin. But there exist so many great games for this handheld.
