UK: Nintendo Switch overtook PS5 at last minute and was best-selling platform 2022

Console sales continue to boom in the largest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom. The Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch family of systems have all been selling extremely well. However, there could only be one winner for the best-selling gaming hardware of 2022 in the UK and the crown went to Nintendo in 2022 with their successful Nintendo Switch system. The Nintendo Switch was duking it out with the Sony’s PlayStation 5 for the top spot and the Switch overtook the PlayStation 5 when Nintendo decided to bundle a game with the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) for £299.99 at the end of the year. When asked about the sales differences between the three systems, Christopher Dring of Games Industry said that the difference is very, very small. So we can establish that the Nintendo Switch family of systems took 1st place, PlayStation 5 took 2nd place, and the Xbox Series X|S took 3rd.
