Switch has sold over 46.6 million units in the US, making it the second-best-selling video game hardware. However, the Nintendo DS holds the top spot at the moment.

While the Switch has achieved another milestone, its sales have been declining, perhaps because fans are leaning more toward its upcoming successor.
