"Sharing the firm's monthly sales report for August on Bluesky, Circana executive director Mat Piscatella stated that 2.4 million Switch 2 units were sold in the US during its first three months on the market, surpassing the record set by the PlayStation 4, which had sold 2.2 million units in its first three months. That makes Switch 2 the fastest-selling home console in the US through this timeframe."
"Looking at hardware alone, monthly spending on consoles rose to $312 million--a 32% increase--compared to a year ago. In fact, Piscatella said that the success of the Switch 2 actually "offset double-digit percentage declines" for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and even the original Switch; all three of those platforms received at least one price hike this year, most recently the Xbox Series consoles."
