Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch redefined gaming convenience as a hybrid console that sold over 140 million units by early 2024, making it the third best-selling console ever and 30% lighter than the runner-up in portability, the Wii U. Launched in 2017 with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which sold over 30 million copies alone, its seamless transition between handheld and docked modes revived Nintendo after the Wii U's 13 million unit failure. This adaptability allows players to enjoy 4,000+ games anywhere, a flexibility unmatched by #4 PlayStation 1's stationary design.
