Nintendo's Switch has just achieved another sales milestone. Although worldwide hardware sales of the hybrid system surpassed Wii sales some time ago, there's been an update in the US.

I'm surprised it took that long.

They sold a lot of Wii's, for a long time.

Well there was that period when you couldn't even find switches to buy, that probably didn't help.

To be fair, the Wii also had that period, and it was even worse than the Switch’s launch.

I meant around Covid, several years after the launch.

I guess the motion controllers gimmick was a more wide-appealing thing.

Wii sports and wii fit sold a lot of units. My mom bought a wii fit to use with my Wii and she never games. Like ever. She was one of those moms that called other game systems “Nintendo”.
