The Switch is a versatile console however these days it has undoubtedly favoured topping the charts.
Switch outsold PS4 and Xbox One within the US in October, Nintendo has introduced. The information comes forward of the total NPD report.
The SNES Classic Mini took second spot on the charts. Nintendo stated that its hardware – Switch, 3DS, SNES Classic Mini – accounted for “two-thirds of all video game hardware sold in the United States for the second month in a row”.
It will get higher, although: the whole variety of month-to-month hardware unit gross sales within the US was over 1 million, the primary time October has hit that milestone since 2011.
Nintendo, like most firms, not often presents exhausting numbers, however we’re clearly taking a look at effectively over 600,000 Nintendo hardware gross sales.
On the software program aspect, Super Mario Odyssey was one of the best promoting online game of October 2017, apparently. It’s value remembering that it launched proper on the finish of the month; in simply 4 days on sale, it pulled larger numbers than the rest launched that month. (Not to rain on Nintendo’s parade right here, however all the opposite heavy hitters of the month released on the same day – and it’s not clear if Nintendo is speaking single SKUs or multi-platform releases.)
Although we don’t count on a lot of a change in momentum for Switch and SNES Classic Mini, Nintendo could also be challenged in November by a Black Friday gross sales surge on PS4 and Xbox One, and maybe by the Xbox One X.
Stay tuned for the total NPD report over the subsequent few days.
