According to this month’s NPD report, Switch was the best-selling console in the US last month in terms of unit sales. PlayStation 5 was the leader for dollar sales, though it’s worth noting that Sony’s console is more expensive.

For 2021 as a whole, Switch is the best-selling gaming hardware for both unit and dollar sales.

Also worth noting is that in July, the Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Con was the best-selling accessory across the industry in dollar sales.
