Forums - Sales Discussion - December NPD 2020: Switch 2.1 million, PS5 800K, XBS 700K

Pretty crazy how the Dualsense is the best selling gamepad of the year.

The regular Switch has been short supplied in the USA. Numbers could have been better.

Everything is in short supply. 



I guess NPD cracked down on leaks with the start of the new gen. No numbers for a few months now aside from Nintendo's own PR in Oct/Nov.



So anti climatic not getting numbers, especially with new hardware out. Oh well...

No last gen numbers eh. Also did PS5/XBS beat PS4/XB1 from 2013 based on those numbers?

Edit: Also cool to get SW units for once. NBA 2k21 actually beat AC and Mario Kart at retail despite being lower in revenue.

The reverse might be true for Valhalla, Spiderman, and Madden. But they come with the digital caveat.

Nope. Disappointed, not gonna lie.

PS4 did over 2 million in 2013. XBO over 1.8 million.



thread update



The Switch killing it as expected

Animal Crossing and Mario Kart in the top 5
