There is no quest that the Nintendo Switch has managed to become a huge success since its release over a year ago in March 2017. It was recently announced that the Nintendo Switch is starting to get close to reaching over 20 million units worldwide in sales which is an impressive feat. Not only has the Nintendo Switch managed to surpass the the Wii-U in terms of sales but it seems like me it might eventually top the Nintendo GameCube. Ever since the Nintendo GameCube was released back in 2001 the console managed to sell over 22 million units worldwide.

While GameCube was a success back in the 00’s it still paled in comparison to the likes of the NES, SNES, Nintendo DS and the Wii in terms of sales. It’s hard to tell right now whether or not the Switch will ever sell as much as the Wii since it hit over 101 million units worldwide following its release in 2006. Also, the Nintendo DS hit over 154 million units worldwide since its release back in 2004. As popular as the Switch console is right now it might never break the sales record of the Nintendo DS but it could possibly come close to that of the Wii console.
