It appears that a global pandemic hasn't stopped the Nintendo Switch from selling like crazy. The hybrid system has now reportedly sold 68.3 million copies, which now gives it the prestigious title of being Nintendo's second best selling home console.

We last reported that the Switch had sold 52.48 million copies in January, which is an increase of almost 16 million in less than a year. The platform is now in reaching distance of taking over the 3DS too, which sold 75.77 million before being retired this year.

The same source also revealed that Super Mario 3D All-Stars has sold 5.21 million copies and that Paper Mario: The Origami King has sold 2.82 million. Both of these titles are two of the biggest releases the Switch has seen in the latter part of 2020. The real system seller for the year, however, is Animal Crossing: New Horizons which has sold 26 million copies and is the Switch's second strongest selling title behind just Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
