As we approach the end of the year, many are wondering what the best-selling console of 2022 will be. Thus, the NPD Group, an organization responsible for collecting and sharing information related to video game sales United States, mentioned that PS5 I may also take this title.
According to November sales records, the PlayStation 5 is already the best-selling console in dollars in 2022 in the United States, making it the first place in units and dollars sold last month. nevertheless, The Switch is still in first place when we talk about unit sales in general. This means that Sony’s platform makes more money from its hardware sales than Nintendo and Microsoft.
The PS5 costs $499, and the Switch is only $299, which makes sense. Unfortunately, the The unit shortage that we’ve seen throughout the year has prevented this console from surpassing Nintendo platform unit sales.. Fortunately, as PS5 availability improved, not only did numbers increase, but total spending on the console and other devices increased by 45% year-over-year. Relatedly, hoarders have lost interest in the PS5.
Editor’s note:
At this rate, yes, the Switch will be America’s best-selling console by units, but it looks like that will change next year. As more and more PS5 becomes available to the public, people will continue to purchase this piece of hardware and it will most likely be the best seller in units in 2023.
