Nintendo Switch Tops January Sales

But that doesn't mean everyone else is doing poorly.

The Nintendo Switch has picked up far too much momentum.

Oh, who am I kidding? There is never enough momentum as far as the Nintendo Switch goes.

Either way, Nintendo has managed to take the throne during the month January. According to a report from Venture Beat, the Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console for the month of January. However, the battle was close. NPD analyst Mat Piscatella reports:

In dollar sales, the gap between the top-selling platform and the third best-selling was only 3 percent. Nintendo Switch was the month's best-selling platform in Unit sales, while PlayStation 4 topped dollar sales. Xbox One dollar and unit sales are the highest achieved for the platform in a January month.

That's fantastic news! So all three consoles have done incredibly well for the month of January. Hopefully, this means fantastic things for the future of the gaming industry (which some people once believed that the console market would have been overridden by mobile gaming). In fact, January 2018 dollar sales for the console market have been at its highest point since January 2011:

January hardware dollar sales of $278 million are the highest level achieved since the $323 million sold in January 2011. Over one million units of hardware sold in January 2018, also the highest tally since January 2011.
