Nintendo Switch has broken a huge sales record in the US. The Japanese publisher states its hybrid console has sold more units after 20 months in the region than any other current-gen system did after the same period.

　　Citing data from sales monitor NPD Group, Nintendo says it's sold "more than 8.7 million [Switch] units" in the US alone, as of the end of November 2018. The company also says it is "the overall top-selling US software publisher so far for 2018." These data do not include the sales figures of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which is the fastest-selling Switch game to date--the fighting game has sold over 3 million units in the US already, according to Nintendo's own data.
