NPD Group has published its sales figures for July in North America, and to no one’s surprise, the Switch has had another successful month! The console is once again the top-selling hardware in terms of units sold, and while spending is down compared to July 2021 by 10%, sales are beginning to return to 2020 levels.<\/p>\n

The best-selling game on the Switch in July is Monolith Soft’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a>, despite only releasing on 29th of the month. The gigantic JRPG made a real splash at the end of July, and we dubbed it a “masterpiece” in our review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> has seen a bit of a drop, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a> jumped up a few spots. And in terms of new releases, both Live A Live<\/a> and Digimon Survive<\/a> also placed in the month’s top ten Switch games.<\/p>\n
