This month’s NPD report brought plenty of news concerning software sales in the United States for February, but there are a few hardware tidbits as well. It’s now been revealed that Switch was the best-selling platform in terms of both units and dollars.
We’ll also mention that Switch was the unit sales leader in the first quarter of 2021 as a whole. PlayStation 5 came out on top in terms of dollar sales for the period, though it’s worth noting that the console costs more.

Mario Kart 8 has reached a major milestone in the United States. According to the latest data from the NPD, it’s now the best-selling racing genre video game in U.S. history. NPD doesn’t indicate whether that information only includes the Switch version, but we’d assume the original Wii U title is lumped in as well.
It’s worth noting that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the sixth best-selling game in the U.S. last month. Despite being a few years old, it still manages to place high on the charts regularly.
