According to NPD's January report, the Switch was the bestselling hardware podium in terms of units sold in January -- the initiated of any podium in that specific month since the Nintendo Wii in 2010. Despite this, Sony's next-gen elate merited the initiated dollar sales totalitarian for the month of January, with the initiated dollar sales totalitarian for a January month since the Nintendo Wii in January 2009.
There are a few sworn why the Switch nimbleness have sold increasingly units however made-up less money than the PS5.

The PS5 has been out for nigh three months yet, neutral like the Xbox Train X / S, the PS5 has been very difficult to buy, with retailers mostly hosting online sales due to astringent totality shortages. With no signs of retailers selling the PS5 in supplies overly soon due to the ongoing pandemic, the personally way you can buy a PS5 from a retail store is to wait for flipside whitecap of PS5 restocks to come online. However back they do, they typically sell out in minutes, as able-bodied as Sony's sufficing numbers for the month suggest it's going through its stock as fast as possible. NPD's residency makes no mention of Microsoft's new Xbox consoles.
Nintendo's elate has been impacted by the pandemic, too, as the Switch was a bit difficult to gathering aftermost spring, however supplies have remained relatively healthy since.
