The Switch has now surpassed the Game Boy Advance to move into 9th place on the All Time list. Now it sets its sites on the 7th Gen HD Twins.

Switch is moving up the ranks fast this year.  With the way Switch is selling it will probably pass the XBox 360 before the end of June.

I think it might happen in May, 10 more weeks would be the week ending 29th May, Switch has 4.1m to go so if it averages over 410k per week it should do it then.
It will likely pass the PS3 in June (or if not then first week in July)

I don't think it can catch the Wii before December though unless a new hardware revision drops in time.... So it should be December to see it overtake Wii & PS1.
