July 2018 NPD: Nintendo Switch outsold Xbox One and PlayStation 4

The Nintendo Switch had the only big new breakout hit of July, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Octopath Traveler topped the software chart, and it helped Nintendo’s hybrid Switch handheld/home console outsell the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in terms of both dollar and unit sales.

“Nintendo Switch was July’s best-selling hardware platform in both dollars and units sold,” said Piscatella. “This is the seventh month that Switch has led in hardware dollar sales since launching in March 2017, and the first since December 2017.”
