The switch was the best-selling console in November

With November already in the past, the NPD Group, an organization focused on collecting and providing information related to video games in the United States, has revealed that atmosphere switch was the best-selling console in last month.

In total, the Nintendo Switch, between its normal version, Lite and OLED, managed to sell more than 1.13 million units in the United States during the past month of November. From this number, 550 thousand were a consequence of the offers that were carried out during the Black Friday.

In this way, the switch has positioned itself as the United States best sold console for 35 of the last 36 months, only being surpassed by the PlayStation on one occasion. This was what Doug Bowler, president of Nintendo of America, said:

With a wide library of games and three options to choose from between Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch — Model OLED, the Nintendo Switch family offers something for everyone in this Christmas season. As we approach 2022 and the sixth year of Nintendo Switch, the system continues to experiment a strong demand. We hope that even more people add Nintendo Switch to their homes!

However, and as Daniel Ahmad, Nike Partners analyst, SWITCH sales decreased compared to what was seen in the same period last year. The combined sales of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X | S just and managed to be comparable with the hybrid console. Similarly, PS4, Xbox One and Wii U in November 2014 managed to sell more than current platforms in November 2021. This is the result of the crisis of chips that affects all markets today.

Editor's note:

It is clear that the crisis in the production and distribution of consoles is still a problem. While overcoming a million units in just one month in a particular market is something good, sales are no longer the same as before, and expectations are low as a consequence.
