The Nintendo Switch has been an absolute juggernaut where its sales are concerned (and in other areas), and it’s enjoyed that success all over the world. In fact, in the United States, it recently crossed another major sales milestone.

Circana (formerly known as the NPD Group) recently released software and hardware sales data for the US for the month of November. Alongside that data, Circana analyst Mat Piscatella revealed on Twitter that the Nintendo Switch has now become the third best-selling consoles of all time in the United States, surpassing the Xbox 360 (which sold over 43.2 million units in the region).

That means it now trails behind only the Nintendo DS (which sold over 53.5 million units in the US) and the PlayStation 2 (which sold over 46.3 million units).

Last month, Nintendo announced that the Switch has sold over 132.46 million units worldwide as of September 30.
