The Xbox Series X/S family of consoles has achieved something impressive, passing the Nintendo 64 in sales. It's the latest in accolades that the Xbox Series has wracked up since its release back in 2020.
The N64 got its start way back in 1996, delivering Nintendo's first full 3D experiences to gamers at home. A strong lineup of N64 games like Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros., and more helped to propel the third home console in Nintendo's lineup.
New reports indicate that the sales of PlayStation 5 consoles are exceeding PS4's numbers, while the Xbox Series X/S lags behind its predecessor.
Ultimately, according to VGChartz, the Nintendo 64 would move a whopping 32.93 million units in its lifetime. However, that impressive number has now been surpassed by the Xbox Series X/S, which together have sold an estimated 32.98 million units. That number was as of April 2024, so it's likely that the Xbox Series console sales have increased significantly since. Next up on the list to conquer would be the Sega Genesis with 34.06 million sales, and the Super Nintendo at 49.10 million.
