The Switch is a flexible console but lately it has definitely favoured topping the charts.
Switch outsold PS4 and Xbox One in the US in October, Nintendo has announced. The news comes ahead of the full NPD report.
The SNES Classic Mini took second spot on the charts. Nintendo said that its hardware – Switch, 3DS, SNES Classic Mini – accounted for “two-thirds of all video game hardware sold in the United States for the second month in a row”.
It gets better, though: the total number of monthly hardware unit sales in the US was over 1 million, the first time October has hit that milestone since 2011.
Nintendo, like most companies, rarely offers hard numbers, but we’re clearly looking at well over 600,000 Nintendo hardware sales.
