Combined sales of the Xbox Series X and S consoles gave Microsoft its biggest March in terms of hardware revenue for a decade.
Xbox Series X/S led the US console market in March – and cumulatively over the year’s first quarter – in terms of dollar sales, according to numbers from analytics firm NPD.
However, Nintendo Switch still was the US’ best-selling console in terms of units sold, in March and across 2022 to date.

The steady sales of Xbox Series X and S, the former of which is still regularly supply-constrained, gave Microsoft an all-time March high for the platform. Previous records for units sold and dollar revenue date back to March 2011 and March 2014, respectively.
