Nintendo sold 10.81 million Switch consoles last quarter, bringing lifetime sales to 52.48 million.
With over 50 million lifetime sales, the Switch has now surpassed the iconic Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
The console's next target is the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which managed 61.91 million sales back in the 1980s.
With one quarter to go, Nintendo is also 250,000 units away from hitting its financial year target of 18 million Switch sales.
Nintendo highlighted Pokémon Sword and Shield in particular, which have already sold 16.06 million units since their release last November.
