US Charts: Far Cry 6 leads in October - PS5 defends position

Mat Piscatella of the NPD Group stressed on Twitter that the PS5 is still the console with the highest dollar sales this year in the US. In terms of numbers, however, the Nintendo Switch is at the top.


In October 2021, on its own, the Switch generated the lion’s share of sales thanks to the introduction of the OLED model, which resulted in the platform taking the top spot in terms of units sold and dollar sales. Overall, hardware sales in the US market rose by 82 percent compared to the previous year. $ 472 million was reached in October.

“The Switch was the most successful hardware platform in October, both in terms of quantities and in dollars, supported by the introduction of the Nintendo Switch – OLED model,” said Piscatella in the wording. “The PlayStation 5 remains the most successful hardware platform in dollars in 2021, while the Nintendo Switch leads in terms of units sold.”
