The Switch also became the company's fastest-selling console less than a week after its launch back in March 2017.
Nintendo's hybrid console surpassed the Wii U in terms of lifetime sales at the ten-month mark with 14.86 million units sold.
Now, it seems that we could see the Switch surpass one of its classic consoles, the SNES.
This might not be such an outlandish prospect given that last year the company managed 9.41 million in sales during the festive season.
Nintendo has also been buoyed by the Switch Lite which accounted for 1.95 million sales in the last quarter, roughly 28% of all Switch sales.
