Okay, Switch fans, get this – Nintendo just dropped their latest numbers, and it's kinda wild. The Switch has officially smashed past 150 million units sold! Yep, you read that right – 150.86 million to be exact. Crazy, huh?

This latest earnings report covers up to the end of December last year, so basically, the holiday season really pushed things over the edge. And get this, that number puts the Switch right up there in the all-time console hall of fame.

We're talking third best-selling console EVER now. Only behind the Nintendo DS (which, let's be real, was a beast at 154 million) and the PS2 (still king at 160 million). Seriously impressive company to be in, right?

Nintendo also gave us a fresh look at how their big Switch games are doing. I'll dig up those numbers for you in a sec and list them out. Basically, if you were wondering if the Switch is still a big deal? Yeah, uh, massive deal. Still selling like hotcakes, and cementing its place as a true legend in gaming history. Pretty cool to witness, eh?
