On February 3 Nintendo released their financial report covering their sales for the last quarter of 2025. This includes sales units on their Switch and Switch 2 consoles, as well as the sales units for many of their games, including Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
We now know that the Switch is the best selling Nintendo console of all time. It has sold over 155.37 million units in its lifetime thus far, which finally surpassed 154.02 million units for the portable DS system. It’s coming remarkably close to outselling the Playstation 2, which sold over 160 million units in its lifetime as confirmed by Sony. The Switch 2’s financial numbers are also alive and well. Despite a turbulent start, it has sold over 15 million units globally during the fourth week of December 2025, making it the “fastest selling dedicated video game platform released by Nintendo to date” according to Nintendo’s report.
As for Zelda games, Nintendo reported that 300,000 Breath of the Wild units and 250,000 Tears of the Kingdom units were sold in the last quarter. Video game analyst Stealth noted that it is unknown at this time what percentage of those numbers involve sales of the games’ respective Switch 2 Editions. No mention of the Zelda movie was made in the financial report, only the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie.
There was no mention of sales made for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment in Nintendo’s financial report either, but Koei Tecmo stated that over one million copies of Age of Imprisonment were sold in their own financial report released in January 26, likely due to the fact that Age of Imprisonment is technically a third-party title. (It feels an awful lot like a Zelda game, however. You can read our game review here.) It’s not as many units as the three million copies of Age of Calamity sold, but that’s not too shabby for the game being available on the market in less than three months.
Remarkable sales numbers for other Nintendo games from the report were also noted by the general public who read the results, including 17.5 million units for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, 1.76 million units for Kirby Air Riders, and even 500,000 units of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the last quarter.
Nintendo is certainly doing well in its new era, and it seems that momentum isn’t stopping anytime soon.
