July 2021 NPD: PS5 and Switch lead the way to 10% year-over-year growth

U.S. consumers spent $4.6 billion on gaming in July 2021, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. This is up 10% from the same period last year, and it’s also the best July the industry has seen since 2008.

PlayStation 5 was the most successful console in terms of dollar sales, although the Switch actually sold more units in July.
