The Nintendo Switch has now sold over 103.54 million consoles worldwide–up by 10 million since September–beating the 101.6 million sales benchmark of the Wii.

While the Switch’s impressive sales don’t make it Nintendo’s best-selling hardware ever–the Nintendo DS family of handheld family consoles shifted over 154 million units during its lengthy lifecycle–the hybrid nature of the Switch does make it Nintendo’s most successful home console ever made.

That total is made even more impressive when you factor in the lifetime sales of its predecessor–the Wii U–which only managed to sell 13.5 million units during its short run in the early 2010s. According to Nintendo, 18.95 million Switch consoles were sold during the first nine months of its last fiscal year, with sales being down by 21.4% when compared to the previous year.
