If it maintains this pace, it should be able to overtake the Game Boy Advance as early as the spring of this year, which currently has 81.85 million units sold worldwide. After that, only the Wii, the original Game Boy and the Nintendo DS stand in front of the Switch.

Ultimate with 22.85 million copies - followed by the action adventure The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with 21.45 million.
