Nintendo’s hybrid console is a huge hit that continues to break records. According to the Japanese gaming giant’s latest sales data, the Switch has managed to sell over 61 million units. That’s pretty impressive, being that the console/handheld has only been on the market for a few years.
According to a sales chart that Nintendo Life has shared, the Switch is actually very close to outselling the original NES. But will it be able to beat the Wii’s epic 100+ million achievement?
