"Case in point: Circana senior director Mat Piscatella has revealed that the cube console focused on motion controls has topped every single PS5 and Xbox SKU for units sold in the US for a holiday week. On BlueSky, Piscatella posted the possibly shocking video game hardware statistics for the week ending November 22. The top-selling hardware option was Switch 2 bundled with Mario Kart World, with the Nex Playground at No. 2."
"For those unfamiliar, Nex Playground relies on motion-based movement for players. In other words, this console is very similar to Xbox Kinect, featuring a camera to track bodies for interacting with games. Nex Playground comes with five titles installed, and owners can purchase a subscription Play Pass for a larger library of games. It's $49 for three months or $89 for a year."
"Obviously, there are multiple options when choosing a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S--various bundles and hard drive configurations--and each one represents a SKU. So one caveat with Circana's info is that the list isn't showing overall Switch 2, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S units sold. In fact, this isn't the first time Nex Playground has upped Sony's system in the US for a short time."
Circana retail tracking data ranked the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle first and the Nex Playground second for US hardware SKU units sold during the week ending November 22, 2025. The ranking lists individual SKUs, so combined totals for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S across multiple bundles and configurations are not shown. Nex Playground previously outsold PS5 options on Amazon during Prime Day. The console uses camera-based motion tracking similar to Xbox Kinect, ships with five preinstalled titles, and offers a Play Pass subscription priced at $49 for three months or $89 per year.
