News & Reviews:   Nintendo Switch Malaysia pre-order

Nintendo has confirmed that its hybrid gaming platform, the Switch, has officially overtaken the long-standing sales record previously held by the Nintendo DS. As of 31 December 2025, lifetime sales of the original Switch (including the standard, Lite, and OLED versions) reached about 155.37 million units, surpassing the DS’s lifetime total of approximately 154.02 million units. This milestone makes the Switch the top-selling piece of hardware in Nintendo’s history.

Did you know that despite the Switch having a USB-C port, Nintendo said that users should only use a specific cable to charge the device? Nintendo has even warned users that forcibly plugging in a non-Nintendo Switch-specific cable may damage the Switch’s USB port or even the cable.

For many electronics companies, the big sales period is coming soon. With Black Friday in November and Christmas in December, sales of devices like the Nintendo Switch is expected to rise. But sources claim that it could also face a holiday shortage.

Back in July, Nintendo announced another refresh to the Switch console. This isn't the Switch Pro that many fans had hope for, but it does have some upgrades like a new OLED screen. In anticipation of the launch, the price for the old model could drop.
