So ps4 won?

"Sony’s PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console and remains the top platform year-to-date..."

Yes.

Folks spent $350 million on hardware in June, thanks mainly to the battle royale sensation Fortnite. Sony’s PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console and remains the top platform year-to-date, but Microsoft and Nintendo also saw their sales increase. Year-over-year, Xbox One made almost twice and the Switch sold more than 50 percent. Nintendo also sold the most consoles with its NES Classic.

If Switch is up more than 50%, that means it sold over 300k. XOne almost doubled its June 2017 sales, so it's probably close to 300k as well.



Props to Mario Tennis for topping the NPD, even without digital. With this and their latest earnings, Nintendo hit all the right notes with this entry.



Didn't expect Aces to be number 1.


WTF cause GTAV to take number 3 though?

The phrasing is weird. It could be revenue.

Pretty big boost for Switch and Xone. I am really surprised for Aces in first. Any word on the best selling by console?



Switch Friend Code: SW - 1286-0025-9138

Hold on, so this June was a 4 week period right?
That would mean the baselines for the Switch and Xbox One were somewhere between the 70-80k range.
Or is it referring to revenue?



Overall once again it does seem like the industry is in a great place. All 3 console manufactures are doing great in sales.
