Nintendo's Switch has just achieved another sales milestone. Although worldwide hardware sales of the hybrid system surpassed Wii sales some time ago, there's been an update in the US.

I'm surprised it took that long.

They sold a lot of Wii's, for a long time.

Well there was that period when you couldn't even find switches to buy, that probably didn't help.

Now I'm wondering if it'll surpass the PS2 in lifetime sales...

Aha, I found this this video for global total sales over time, which shows that the Switch passed the Wii last year. Kinda interesting to see the comparisons!

A video is almost assuredly the worst possible way to convey that information.
