NPD data is out.  Not going to post it all here, but here's Mat Piscatella's initial tweet--you can click it to see the whole thread:

Highlights:

- In March, Switch top selling HW in both sales and revenue
- PS5 best selling console ever through 5 months
- For Q1, Switch highest unit sales but PS5 highest revenue
- Top 3 SW: 1. CoD Cold War, 2. MHR, 3. Outriders

Edit: 2 more highlights:
- Mario Kart 8 now the highest selling racing game of all time (I believe this combines WiiU & Switch versions)
- Monster Hunter Rise already second best selling Monster Hunter by dollar sales of all time behind World

Damn hardware spending being 47 % higher than last year is pretty crazy considering that was when sales exploded last year. Since it's in dollar sales the higher price tag of the new systems does of course contribute a lot to that, but it still suggests an extremely strong month in unit sales as well.
