Despite trailing the PlayStation 4 for a majority of 2018, the Nintendo Switch ended up being the best-selling video game console of last year. That’s according to the latest report from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and The NPD Group, which reveals that the Switch topped the competition in unit sales and dollars in 2018.
Up through October, the PS4 seemed to be on track to take the title (once again), but after losing out to the Switch in November and December, Nintendo’s hybrid console managed to overtake Sony for the year. The Switch also broke a few records along the way, including having the best December unit sales for a console since 2010, and reaching the highest annual total (unit sales and dollars) for a console since the PS4 in 2015.
