March 2024 is the 85th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for. During the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Switch by 55,036 units when compared to the DS during the same timeframe.

In the last 12 months, the Switch has outsold the DS by 2.52 million units. The DS is ahead of the Switch by 9.04 million units.

The 85th month on sale for the Nintendo Switch is March 2024, while for the DS it is November 2011. The Switch has sold 139.22 million units, while the DS sold 148.26 million units during the same timeframe.

The Nintendo DS sold 154.02 million units lifetime. The Nintendo Switch is currently 14.80 million units behind the lifetime sales of the DS.

With the speed Switch is currently moving - between 150 and 180k weekly (if does not drop massively in the coming months) DS is done by end of the fiscal year. (Nice holiday boost included here). However the reality is that announcement of the successor is coming soon, and once that happen Switch will probably drop to 100-120k weekly, with little boost for the holidays. Next year the drop will be bigger. So I'd say maybe by the end of 2025, Switch should've passed the lifetime DS numbers.
