Switch sales outperformed the PS5 and Xbox Series X

According to retail analysts NPD Group, the Nintendo Switch platform sold 1.35 million units last month.

Neither Microsoft nor Sony won the title of the best-selling video game platform in America last month. Instead, the title is Nintendo Platform released three years ago.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launched last month and set new records in November, but the advent of next-generation gaming consoles did not dampen demand for the Nintendo Switch.

In November, consumers spent $ 1.4 billion on new gaming platforms, an increase of 58% over the previous year.

Growth was driven by the introduction of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series. So far, hardware spending has reached $ 4 billion, up 34 percent from last year.

In terms of consumer spending, PlayStation 5 was the best-selling platform in November and Nintendo Switch was the market leader by number of products sold.

The Regular PlayStation 5 Edition is $ 500, the Digital Edition is $ 400, the Switch is $ 300, and the Switch Lite is $ 200.

Despite Nintendo's poor sales performance, Sony still gets more sales from its devices.

The PlayStation 5 represents the highest monthly sales and dollar sales of any video game platform in US history.

Nintendo sold 1.3 million Switch platforms in November and grossed US 6.92 million in 2020.

In November 2020, spending on accessories reached $ 314 million, an increase of 8% over the previous year.

November marks the 24th consecutive day that Nintendo Switch sales have dominated the US market.

These figures refer to the US only and not to the major markets in Asia and Europe.

Microsoft and Sony suffer from supply bottlenecks, which means Nintendo is currently the only company that can stock and sell their platforms faster.
