Switch vs Wii Sales Comparison in the US - May 2023

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

The Wii launched in November 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 US:

Gap change in latest month: 336,156 - Switch

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,970,164 - Switch

Total Lead: 560,264 - NS

Switch Total Sales: 41,328,755

Wii Total Sales: 40,768,491

May 2023 is the 75th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for in the US. During the latest month, the Wii has outsold the Switch by 336,156 units.

In the last 12 months, the Switch has outsold the Wii by 3.97 million units. The Switch is currently ahead of the Wii by 560,264 units.

The 75th month for the Nintendo Switch is May 2023 and for the Wii it is January 2013. The Switch has sold 41.33 million units, while the Wii sold 40.77 million units during the same timeframe. The Wii sold current Switch sales in month 86.

The Wii sold 41.70 million units in the US during its lifetime. The Switch needs to sell another 0.37 million units to outsell the Wii in the US.

If June is as strong as May, Switch may well overtake with next month's numbers. Another long running chart finally ended.

The Wii was a sales powerhouse, but Switch is on another level.

We shall see once Circana/NPD for June comes out. Though, that won't be until July 28.
