We’ve got a couple of more notes from the NPD Group detailing the latest gaming sales for the U.S.
First up, it’s been confirmed that Switch was the best-selling hardware platform in units sold during December. We’re also hearing that Switch and PlayStation 5 were essentially tied for dollar sales leadership in the month. Additionally, Switch led 2021 hardware when it comes to both unit and dollar sales.
Along with Switch, 2021 was a good year for Pokemon.

Even more significant, 2021 dollar sales of Pokemon franchise physical software reached its highest annual total since the year 2000.
