Nintendo Switch outsold PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January 2019

Last year was one of the biggest ever for game and hardware sales, and that’s going to make it difficult for 2019 to compete. But Nintendo Switch, which is younger than the other hardware platforms on the market, is maintaining its momentum. And it offset some of the declines that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are finally starting to face.

The Nintendo Switch outsold the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the United States, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. The hybrid home/handheld console sold both more units and generated more revenue than either Sony’s or Microsoft’s boxes.And it did so while the other systems got Resident Evil 2 and Kingdom Hearts III.
