According to the latest NPD report, which tracks sales data in the U.S., Switch has set a new all-time record for hardware unit sales in a March month. Switch also had the previous record, which was earned at launch in March 2017.

That’s not the only piece of good news for Switch. The system has generated the highest first quarter unit sales for any hardware platform since the DS in the first quarter of 2010, the NPD report reveals.

Overall gaming sales in the U.S. increased by 63 percent year-over-year to $461 million. Switch hardware sales more than doubled when compared to a year ago.
