I know the numbers, they are on Nintendo's corporate website (which VGC looked at too). Switch isn't done yet and should be able to clear the 1.5 billion mark.

None of Nintendo's figures include digital-only titles, but it's self-evident that the digital-only business on Switch is tremendously bigger than on DS and Wii combined, so once you factor that in, it is the same ballpark.

What figure did you estimate with digital factored in? What of dsiware and wiiware?

At least 1.8 billion. There have been a lot of indie success stories on Switch and there are thousands of digital-only games.

DSiWare and WiiWare had very few quality games and neither service offered any kinds of discounts on games, so I estimate combined sales to be below 25 million units. This puts total DS and Wii software at ~1.9 billion.
