Switch vs Wii Sales Comparison in Europe – January 2023

This monthly series compares the aligned European sales of the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Wii.

The Wii launched in Europe in December 2006, while the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017. Therefore, the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup, which is why there are big increases and decreases.

Switch Vs. Wii Europe:

Gap change in latest month: 270,359 - Switch

Gap change over last 12 months: 2,273,896 - Switch

Total Lead: 480,023 - Wii

Switch Total Sales: 31,088,619

Wii Total Sales: 31,568,642

January 2023 is the 71st month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for in Europe. During the latest month, the Switch caught up to the Wii by 270,359 units.

In the last 12 months, the Switch has outsold the Wii by 2.27 million units. The Wii is currently ahead of the Switch by 480,023 units.

The 71st month for the Nintendo Switch is January 2023 and for the Wii it is October 2012. The Switch has sold 31.09 million units, while the Wii sold 31.57 million units during the same timeframe. The Wii sold current Switch sales in month 65.

The Wii sold 33.12 million units in Europe during its lifetime. The Switch needs to sell another 2.03 million units to outsell the Wii in Europe.

Nuts that the Switch was 7 million behind at one point, but will almost certainly win in the end.

It really is showing impressive legs, especially for a Nintendo system.
