It's been fifteen years since the Nintendo Wii was released. 

The Nintendo Switch games console has overtaken the Nintendo Wii in units sold.

It comes after the Switch had a strong holiday season sales wise, as it was less affected by supply issues.

10.67 million units of the handheld device were shipped between October and December last year.

It's now sold 103.54 million units since it first launched, surpassing the Wii by almost two million sales.

The sales of the Nintendo Switch for the latter quarter of last year speaks volumes for the supply chain.

In the same period, PlayStation 5 consoles only sold around a third of what the Switch did.

Nintendo launched an OLED version of the Nintendo Switch last year which could have helped things.

The Nintento Wii previously held the record for being the third-highest selling games console of all-time.

The PlayStation Two and Nintendo DS are one and two on the all-time list.
