<p>Ahead of the NPD Group&#8217;s latest monthly report, Nintendo has come out in front to share the company&#8217;s positive news. <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUjNDL">Switch</a> not only outsold the competition in the United States during the month, but combined with sales of the <a href="http://ift.tt/2mxkeFz">3DS</a> and SNES Classic Edition, Nintendo dominated the hardware sales space.</p>
<p dir="ltr">New NPD reports are often, but not always, accompanied by press releases from the various console manufacturers putting some spin on the numbers. In a release issued much earlier than usual, Nintendo revealed the NPD report will show that the Switch outsold both the <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUsZbd">PS4</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a> in the US during September. It&#8217;s the third month in a row that&#8217;s been true, and the fifth time in Switch&#8217;s seven months of availability that it&#8217;s been the case.</p>
<p><a class="fluid-height" href="http://ift.tt/2ytW0RF"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="http://ift.tt/2gmLDnW"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Specific sales figures for the month were not shared, but Nintendo noted that Switch has now sold more than 2 million units in the US since launch. Additionally, it added that combined sales for Switch, 3DS, and SNES Classic represented two-thirds of total US hardware sales in September.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the software side, several Nintendo-platform exclusives sold well. <a href="http://ift.tt/2roiifS">Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle</a> was the month&#8217;s seventh best seller, <a href="http://ift.tt/2tif2o2">Metroid: Samus Returns</a> was the eighth, <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUqkhW">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a> the 10th, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nLMSiC">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</a> the 11th. We&#8217;ll report back later today with the full NPD report once it&#8217;s released.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Switch&#8217;s hardware sales are more impressive in light of the continued supply constraints Nintendo has faced. A recent report suggested it&#8217;s <a href="http://ift.tt/2y139sE">pushing Switch production to 2 million per month</a>, but it&#8217;s unclear whether the company will be able to meet demand this holiday season. Nintendo continues to improve the system, recently adding some <a href="http://ift.tt/2kSKVnt">new Eshop functionality</a> and releasing a <a href="http://ift.tt/2zlDasT">new Switch system update</a>.</p>
