NPD: Nintendo Switch outsold PlayStation and Xbox in June

The video game business in the United States is at the beginning of a generational transition. Hardware sales are down overall, but that’s not hurting Nintendo, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.

Nintendo’s hybrid home/handheld Switch console was the best-selling hardware in terms of both dollar and unit sales in the United States for the month of June. It is also the best-selling console through the first half of 2019. Nintendo launched the Switch in March of 2017, and that means millions of people still haven’t picked up one unlike the much older Xbox One and PlayStation 4 systems that debuted in 2013.
