June 2022 NPD: Switch leads all consoles in unit sales
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
According to the latest NPD report, Switch was the best-selling console in the United States for the month of June in terms of unit sales. The same also applies for 2022 thus far as a whole.
Switch did lose out to the PlayStation 5 in both categories when it comes to dollar sales. However, one factor to keep in mind is that Sony’s console is more expensive – the cheapest version is $400 while the other model is $500. The Switch Lite costs $200 and other models are priced at $350.
This month’s NPD report also includes the latest on software sales. In June, Mario Strikers: Battle League debuted at #3 on the chart. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes came in at #16. You can see the full results here.
