Switch was the best-selling console of 2022 in the United States
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
According to the latest NPD data, Switch was the best-selling console of 2022 in the United States. It was followed by the PlayStation 5 in second and Xbox Series in third.
That statistic is based on unit sales. If dollar sales were considered, it’d be the PlayStation 5 in first, Switch in second place, and Xbox Series in third. However, Switch isn’t as expensive as the PS5, which is an important factor.

Ubisoft says Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope underperformed
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Ubisoft hasn’t given a clear indication as to how much Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope has sold, but it seems that the game hasn’t lived up to the company’s expectations. As part of a January financial update today, co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned how “surprised” they were by its “underperformance in the final weeks of 2022 and early January.” Just Dance 2023 Edition was another game Ubisoft called out as an underperformer.
Ubisoft appears to be facing some tough times on the whole for the time being. Guillemot stated in the same report: “We are clearly disappointed by our recent performance. We are facing contrasted market dynamics as the industry continues to shift towards mega-brands and everlasting live games, in the context of worsening economic conditions affecting consumer spending.”
