Last month, we saw that Nintendo's 33-month lead has been lost against the PlayStation 5. However, this doesn't mean that their momentum is over. According to NPD Group's October 2021 report, the Nintendo Switch was one of the best-selling hardware platforms of October in both units and dollars. This success is majorly owed to the sales of the OLED model.
The report states that in October 2021 consumer spending across video game hardware, content and accessories grew 16% when compared to a year ago, reaching an October record of $4.4 billion. Year-to-date consumer spending reached $46.7 billion, gaining 12% when compared to the same period in 2020.
