January 2022 NPD: PS5 and Xbox outsell Nintendo Switch

January was a big month for hardware sales in the United States, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. And it was an especially good month for the elusive new-gen systems from Sony and Microsoft. Those companies were able to replenish stock of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S systems, and that led to those devices outselling Nintendo Switch.

“PlayStation 5 was the best-selling hardware platform of January 2022 in both units and dollars,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Xbox Series ranked second across both measures.”
