Famitsu's latest weekly hardware charts report that the Nintendo Switch 2 has passed a modest sales milestone by outselling the PlayStation 5 Disc Drive model on a model-by-model basis.
The Japanese trade publication presents sales by individual console models, and its latest figures show the Switch 2 with a cumulative total of 5,940,500 units versus 5,920,682 units for the PS5 Disc Drive model.
Famitsu's chart lists both weekly shipment figures followed by lifetime sales in parentheses.
The relevant top entries from the report read:
- Switch 2 – 26,435 (5,940,500)
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 8,024 (1,324,185)
- Switch OLED Model – 2,619 (9,593,258)
- Switch Lite – 2,446 (6,981,943)
- PlayStation 5 Pro – 1,165 (364,374)
- Switch – 402 (20,302,138)
- PlayStation 5 – 260 (5,920,682)
- Xbox Series X – 217 (327,837)
- Xbox Series X Digital Edition – 217 (32,455)
- Xbox Series S – 29 (342,474)
In clear, journalistic terms: Famitsu's data indicates the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold 5,940,500 units to date, a figure that narrowly exceeds the PlayStation 5 Disc Drive model's 5,920,682 lifetime sales when models are counted separately.
However, when Sony's PS5 models are aggregated (Disc Drive and Digital Edition combined), the combined PS5 total remains larger than the Switch 2's single-model total.
The Famitsu methodology of reporting sales by individual hardware SKUs is important context for interpreting these numbers.
By separating the PS5 Digital Edition from the PS5 Disc Drive model, the charts allow direct comparisons between specific SKUs but do not represent combined platform totals unless explicitly aggregated.
These figures provide an up-to-date snapshot of the Japanese market as reported by Famitsu, and they highlight the continued relevance of Nintendo's hardware family—now including the Switch 2, Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and the original Switch—alongside Sony and Microsoft's current-generation consoles.
All numbers above are taken from Famitsu's published hardware sales chart.
