The Nintendo Switch<\/strong> continues to dominate in sales, with the popular hybrid console consistently bringing in new players through exclusives like\u00a0Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>. The dominance of the Switch<\/a> in September allowed it to break a record once held by the Xbox 360 as well, and it is quite the impressive feat.<\/p>\n

Nintendo continuing to sell the Switch in high amounts is unsurprising, as the Switch platform has found incredible success in Japan and around the world<\/a>. The interesting thing about this new record broken by the Switch, however, is that it pertains to the United States. The record in question sees the Switch becoming the bestselling console in the US for an incredible 22 months straight, surpassing the Xbox 360\u2019s 21 months on top from 2011-2013.<\/p>\n

Switch sales have been on the rise for well over a year, with the Nintendo Switch surpassing the Wii\u2019s sales records<\/a> from 2008 recently as well. With the company not only beating out its own records but this longstanding 360 record too, the Switch shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, according to video game sales analyst Ryng, the \u201cSwitch record can go even further.\u201d The analyst firmly believes that the console will reign supreme in the month of October as well.<\/p>\n
