For the Nintendo Switch, it is no beating around the bush to understand the impact of the console for the video game industry. While talks are currently centered around the transition to the next-generation with Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X & Xbox Series S, that does not halt the progress of the Nintendo Switch. In fact, it was projected the system would still be a top seller leaving 2020.
Leading up to the holiday season, Mat Piscatella, NPD Group analyst, predicted that the Nintendo Switch would be the top seller for holiday 2020. Not only for the continued success of the system, but also based on the limited supply for the next-generation systems shipping in November as well.
But now, it looks that Nintendo Switch surpasses more than the biggest commercial overhaul for the year. According to Gamesindustry.biz head Christopher Dring on Twitter, he discloses Nintendo Switch outsold all competing hardware combined.
In the tweet, Dring elaborates that the Nintendo Switch when combining sold units for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 still overtakes its competitors. However, while the claim is most likely true, Dring does not supply an accurate model to reveal how many units were purchased in 2020.
While not a big surprise, it was reported that Nintendo Switch already dominated the console hardware race back in July. According to NPG Groups Mat Piscatella once again, he issues that Nintendo Switch is already the top-selling system for the year after just reaching the halfway point for 2020.
