The Nintendo Switch 2 was the best-selling console worldwide with 765,795 units sold for January 2026, according to VGChartz estimates. The Switch 2 has sold 16.35 million units lifetime.
The PlayStation 5 was the second best-selling console, with an estimated 760,325 units sold, to bring lifetime sales to 90.20 million units. The Nintendo Switch 1 was the third best-selling console, with an estimated 178,472 units sold, to bring lifetime sales to 153.93 million units. The Xbox Series X|S came in fourth place with 118,727 units sold, to bring its lifetime sales to 34.29 million units.
Global hardware estimates for January 2026 (Followed by lifetime sales):
Switch 2 - 765,795 (16,351,114)
PlayStation 5 - 760,325 (90,200,369)
Switch 1 - 178,472 (153,933,312)
Xbox Series X|S - 118,727 (34,289,942)
While I awfully appreciate VGChartz providing sell-through estimates and that they've been pretty damn accurate regarding PS5 and Switch/Switch 2 sales, I personally don't think that their X|S lifetime sales are anywhere near the truth.
I know that it's a fairly miserable state for everyone who is trying to figure out X|S sell-throughs or even shipments, and so is my claim that they're off in the same validity as VGChartz'.
But I don't think that X|S are anywhere even close to 34m sell-through units.
Their estimates are usually 1-2M units more or less than their annual data. But they are usually overestimated.
thanks and congrats to all the other winners
