The PlayStation 2 is the most popular and most sold console in history, but do you know what is about to take over it, at least from current statistics and in Japan. That’s right, Nintendo’s very own blockbuster this year, the Nintendo Switch.

According to SwitchSoku, who got their stats from Famitsu. The Nintendo Switch is keeping pace with the PS2 in Japan. While the PS2 went off with a strong start, its sales tapered towards the end of the year. The Nintendo Switch instead went on consistently strong.

At the current rate, the Nintendo Switch’s current sales result of 2,988,399 Units is poised to overtake the PS2’s 3,016,622 Units for the first year. I don’t know what do you call such success but if the Switch successfully overtakes the most sold console in history’s first year, I think Nintendo can try and keep up the momentum and, hopefully, make the Nintendo Switch the Most Sold Console in History!
