The Nintendo Switch is a Nintendo video game console, released on March 3, 2017, as the successor to the Wii U. Its defining feature is the ability to switch between portable tablet and home console modes, effectively making it a hybrid console. There is a handheld-only variant of the Switch called the Nintendo Switch Lite, and a variant with a larger, OLED display called the Nintendo Switch - OLED Model.
In stark contrast to the Wii U, the Switch was a fantastic sales success, becoming the fastest-selling console of all time in the United States<ref>{{#if: Within 10 months, #NintendoSwitch has become the fastest-selling video game system of all time in the US! |"Within 10 months, #NintendoSwitch has become the fastest-selling video game system of all time in the US!"—|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/948901835284283393 |Nintendo of America|Nintendo of America}}{{#if: Twitter |, Twitter|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2018 |, 2018{{#if: 01 |/{{#switch:{{#len:01}}|1=001|01}}{{#if: 04|/{{#switch:{{#len:04}}|1=004|04}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/948901835284283393 ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/948901835284283393%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/948901835284283393%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/948901835284283393%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/948901835284283393%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> and, as of this writing, the third best-selling game system of all time behind the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS.
