March 2022 NPD: Switch sells the most hardware units in the U.S.
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 hardware platform in the United States for March 2022 in terms of unit sales. However, Xbox Series led the way in terms of dollar sales. The Xbox Series X costing significantly more at $500 partially plays a role in that.
With March concluding the first quarter of 2022, we also get further insight there as well. As it turns out, things are exactly the same. During Q1 as a whole, Switch led the way in the U.S. when it came to unit sales, but Xbox Series came out on top for dollar sales.
We also just reported on the latest results for software sales in the U.S. In case you missed it, you can find the top 20 here (featuring the debuts of Kirby and the Forgotten Land as well as Triangle Strategy). We also have a look at the best-selling games year-to-date and last 12 months here.
