Xbox Series Is Q1 2022’s Best-Selling Platform By Dollars Made

Microsoft’s Xbox Series hardware was the best selling platform of the first quarter (Q1) of 2022 per dollars made. The NPD Group’s latest analysis revealed that the combined front of Xbox Series X and S topped not only March’s sales figures but the entirety of Q1, despite the PlayStation 5 leading the way early on in the year.

While the Xbox Series made the most money, Nintendo’s Switch took first place in terms of units sold both for March and Q1.

Elden Ring remained on top of software sales in March, growing by a double-digit percentage compared to its launch month of February. It’s still the best-selling game of the year and is now the second-best selling game of the last 12 months, falling only to Call of Duty: Vanguard.
