The NPD team recently said that the Nintendo Switch is the best-selling console in the United States in November 2021, and not only that, this console is also the best-selling console in the United States for the whole year of 2021.
In the latest data from the panel of analysts, the Switch was reported as the best-selling gaming console hardware in the U.S. for November, both by sales and by sales. A total of 1.13 million Switch units were sold this month, of which 550,000 were sold during thanksgiving week.
This was achieved amid a sharp year-over-year decline in U.S. hardware sales; U.S. hardware spending fell 38 percent in November to $883 million. This is the lowest level since November 2016. This was blamed on a lack of mainframe inventory, which is also a portrayal of the continued shortage of chips.
Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners, noted that the total sales of the PS5 and Xbox together are barely equal to the total sales of the Switch, while the total sales of the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U in November 2014 exceeded the total sales of switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X | S consoles in November 2021.
