Switch the #1 hardware in the UK for Nov. 2022, top 20 software revealed
The final figures for November’s gaming hardware and software sales in the UK have come in, and once again Nintendo has managed to secure a victory. It all starts with the top 20 software in the UK, which you can find below.
A quick look at the top 20 software sales shows that half the chart is occupied by titles that appear on Switch, and roughly half of them are Switch-exclusive. Even with fierce competition from Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo wooed enough consumers to dominate the charts.
Along with this breakdown comes details on hardware, and once again the Switch came out above all other options. Total consoles sold in the month across all platforms amounted to 372,000 consoles, and Switch accounts for the bulk of that figure, seeing a 175% jump in sales month-on-month. Sales were no doubt spurred on by Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, with the Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Switch OLED version account for 8% of all Switch consoles sold.
