The Nintendo Switch hybrid platform has overtaken the PlayStation 5 in the UK to become the best-selling console in 2022. Citing Gfk's famous sales claim, a GamesIndustry journalist revealed:Christopher Dringthat the Switch had “finally” surpassed the PS5’s numbers and finished the year on top.

when askedChristopher DringAs for the difference between the three consoles, which seemed insignificant, he replied: “Yes, very much.” This seems to indicate that the Xbox Series X console also did well in the region last year.

The Nintendo Switch console launched in 2017 and has sold over 114.33 million units worldwide. Parts shortages hurt PS5 sales early last year, but sales began to pick up in the middle of the year, with titles like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok having a big impact. The platform has sold 25 million units worldwide.

With rumors swirling about the new Nintendo Switch device again, it seems that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the last titles for the device, with more to come from the next-gen console expected to be announced sometime next year. Regardless, we may have to wait until well into 2024 before it launches on the platform.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to release exclusively on Nintendo Switch on May 12. Prior to its release, it was rated by the ESRB and in South Korea.
