Switch surpasses Xbox One sales in the UK - less impressive than it seems

Nintendo Switch is a successful console all over the world and is partially successful in the UK, one of the largest markets in Europe. As indicated by Christopher Dring of Gamesindustry.biz, the console from the Kyoto house has now surpassed the sales of Xbox One in the English territory. The next goal to overcome is PS3. The truth, however, is that this is not a particularly incredible result.

Unfortunately, there is no precise information on the sales figures but we can still say that these results are not actually incredible. Given the worldwide success of the Switch and, on the other hand, the limited success of the Xbox One, some might think that Nintendo's console should have overtaken Microsoft's console long ago.

Dring has its say on this topic , explaining that there are "a lot of theories about it. Years and years of getting games very overdue. The fact that so many Xbox and PlayStation games are made in the UK. It's a small nation so portable games are not a big hit. It's a competitive market and sales of all three major platforms are similar. "


In any case, even if compared to other nations the result may seem less impactful, the Nintendo console continues to sell and probably great exclusives such as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will help to increase the number of consoles in circulation.
