Want even more perspective on how well the Switch is doing? With the latest fiscal report from Nintendo, we know know that the Switch has sold Nintendo sold 55.77 million units worldwide. Believe it or not, that's higher than the total install base of the Nintendo 64 and GameCube combined. The N64 sold 32.93 million units, while the GameCube sold 21.74 million, making for 54.67 million sold in total.

We know the Switch outsold the SNES back over the holiday season, which means the next target is set on the NES. The Switch has to sell just 6.14 million units to tackle the total NES install base, which seems 99.9999999% assured at this point.
