It is now the 7th best selling console ever. It will likely pass the Wii and the PS1 this holiday taking 5th spot by early 2022.
Edit: Here are also some slightly outdated launch aligned graphs of the best selling consoles ever.
EDIT: These tweets from industry analysts positioning the Switch against other home consoles has sparked a lot of debate that the Switch should not be compared to them because it can be played portably.
Here are my thoughts on the matter.

The truth lies in between.
It's both a portable and a home console. A hybrid. The Switch. Marketed and distributed as such. It will always be compared to home only consoles because of this, not to mention its software model is 100% home console oriented with full priced, full featured games. This is where it differentiates from portable only platforms with the ability to purchase TV out features as an afterthought. So whether people like it or not, it will always be in the conversation with home only console platforms and directly compared to their sales by the gaming market at large.
Also, after 76 months on the market, it's selling faster than any gaming device, portable or home console, than any other gaming company has ever released.
