REDMOND, Wash.–According to the NPD Group, which tracks U.S. video game sales, the Nintendo Switch system was the No. 1 video game hardware in October, followed
by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system in
the No. 2 spot. When combined with the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, Nintendo systems accounted for two-thirds of
all video game hardware sold in the United States for the second month
in a row. The U.S. video game industry achieved hardware sales of more
than 1 million total units in October for the first time since 2011.
The Super Mario Odyssey game for Nintendo Switch emerged as the
top-selling video game of the month on the NPD sales chart, even though
it launched at the end of the month on Oct. 27. The Mario
Kart 8 Deluxe and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild games for Nintendo Switch
finished as the No. 10 and No. 11 individual games for the month,
respectively.
