It’s been a big week for console numbers. Nintendo says The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 sold more than 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days, and Sony says the PlayStation 5 has now passed 100 million units.
Zelda’s record launch
According to Nintendo’s announcement on Wednesday, the remake sold over 5.2 million units in the four days after its Nov. 5 launch, including 810,000 in Japan. The count includes physical and digital copies. Nintendo says that’s the highest four-day global total for any Switch 2 game it has published.
For a sense of scale, VGC points out that Echoes of Wisdom had sold 4.09 million copies after seven months, and A Link Between Worlds on 3DS sold 4.26 million in total. Ocarina of Time passed both in under a week.
In Canada, the digital version is $84.99 on Nintendo’s Canadian eShop. If you want to know whether it’s worth that, here’s our roundup of the reviews.
PS5 joins the 100-million club
Sony’s business data page now lists the PS5 at “more than 100 million” units as of Nov. 10, 2026. Those are units shipped to retailers, not necessarily bought by players, VGC notes, and Sony has shipped at least 2.1 million since the end of September. For comparison, the same page lists the PS4 at more than 117 million as of mid-2022.
Both milestones land just before the holiday rush, and a week before Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on Nov. 19.
Why it’s worth your time: The two milestones say a lot about this console generation: a remake of an N64 classic just had the best four-day launch of any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game, and the PS5 has joined the PS4 past 100 million. If you’re shopping for a Zelda fan this year, it’s an easy pick.
