Nintendo gaming software sales revenues worldwide 2012-2025
In 2020, Nintendo's console gaming software revenues for Wii, Wii U, and the Nintendo Switch amounted to approximately 10.74 billion U.S. dollars, ranking second behind Sony's PlayStation revenue. Nintendo's gaming software sales are estimated to increase until 2022, before setting up for a decline. This projected decease in revenue is due to the phasing out of older Nintendo systems, as well as the lifecycle of the Nintendo Switch console. The Switch is part of the eighth generation of gaming consoles, and whereas Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox have had their ninth generation consoles launched in fall 2020, the Switch is still going strong as-is and Nintendo so far has only announced an OLED model upgrade but no true sucessor model.
