NPD Group has graced us once again with a report that tells us of the latest financial results of the gaming industry. The biggest highlight is the fact explained in the title. Indeed, despite suffering a fall of 3% in terms of hardware sales, Nintendo has enjoyed quite a push, with its Switch platform becoming the best-selling console of December 2021.

In terms of unit sales, the Nintendo Switch was the best-selling hardware of both December and the year overall. However, when it comes to total money earned, Nintendo was tied with Sony despite the PlayStation 5's difference in pricing. According to the NPD Group report, the sales of the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch were 'effectively tied' for dollar sales leadership in the month.
