The most recent figures from NPD indicate that the Nintendo Switch was the most successful console in terms of sales in the United States in 2022. It was followed in second place by the PlayStation 5, and in third place by the Xbox Series.
NPD data confirms; best-selling console of 2022
This statistic is calculated based on the number of units sold. If dollar sales were taken into account, the PlayStation 5 would be in top position, followed by the Switch in second place, and the Xbox Series would be in third place. On the other hand, the Switch is far less costly than the PS5, which is an essential consideration.
Additionally, this week, NPD published statistics pertaining exclusively to the month of December. But the results for the hardware were the same across the board in terms of both units and money, with the Nintendo Switch and the PS5 taking the top positions in their respective categories. The month before saw a total expenditure of $1.5 billion dollars on gaming systems.
