NPD has released a lot of information recently and one thing to certainly note are the hardware sales of Nintendo.
Mat Piscatella about Nintendo Hardware
Hardware spending in August 2018 grew 28 percent when compared to a year ago, to $214 million. PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Plug N Play devices such as the NES Classic Edition all posted year-on-year gains.
Besides that, all 3 consoles had a general tie in sales for the month of August. In fact, the difference in sales of the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch was “less than 3 percent.
However, Nintendo did have something to cheer about. According to VentureBeat “Nintendo hardware sales are at their strongest point year-to-date since 2011.”
And what was before the Nintendo Wii U which we al know had a really hard time getting sales. So it is a very good thing to see Nintendo is on the recovering end when it comes to hardware sales. The Nintendo Switch is still as popular ever … so we estimate that they are going to do very very well.
