In the latest sales update from the United States gaming market, Nintendo has hit a significant milestone with its beloved Switch console.

While Circana doesn't dish out precise month-to-month hardware figures, they've been diligently tracking the data. And the latest report showcases a remarkable feat for the Switch: it has officially clinched the position as the third best-selling gaming hardware in the nation since Circana began monitoring sales back in 1995.

This achievement comes on the heels of the Switch surpassing the total sales of the Xbox 360 within the United States. With this climb, the Switch now eyes just two more platforms ahead in the race to become the all-time best-selling gaming hardware: the Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2.

The Switch's impressive ascent through the ranks signals its enduring popularity and solidifies its standing among gaming enthusiasts. As it sets its sights on the top, the gaming community eagerly awaits to see if it can outpace these iconic predecessors and claim the ultimate crown in U.S. gaming hardware history.
