Full NPD release comes out later today.
Nintendo celebrated the holiday season by coming in with the top sales numbers for the month of December.
According to Nintendo, reporting numbers from analysts The NPD Group, Nintendo Switch moved 1.5 million units in the month of December, making it the top-selling console in the United States once again.
At the beginning of the month, Nintendo announced the Switch was the fastest-selling console in US history, selling 4.8 million units since its introduction in March 2017.
The success of Switch seems to have bled over to Nintendo 3DS, with Nintendo reporting it sold 750,000 units in the month, a “27 percent increase over the same period a year ago.”
Nintendo said between Switch, 3DS, and the Super NES Classic, “half of all hardware sold during the month,” or 2.6 million units, was from Nintendo.
Super Mario Odyssey was the Switch’s best-selling game, coming in third place for overall sales during the month, according to Nintendo.
