According to market research by NPD Group,Xbox had its best March on record, outperforming its previous March records from 2014 in dollars, and 2011 in units sold.

It is interesting to note that the Xbox Series X|S was the best selling console in dollar terms not only for March 2022 but for the first quarter, while the Nintendo Switch led the way in units sold for both March and throughout the first three months of the year. It was also recently revealed that theXbox Series X|S is nearly 4.5 million units ahead of the Xbox 360in terms of total sales after the first 17 months each system’s respective lifespans.

I still need to go through the NPD figures, but here are@VGChartzestimates for March 2022 before adjustments are made:

NS: 595KXSX|S: 555KPS5: 259K

The order matches NPD and has Xbox Series X|S setting an Xbox record for the month, which we know is true.

February saw the Xbox Series X|S outsell the PlayStation 5 in Europe for the first time. Though both Sony and Microsoft have been crippled by worldwide chip shortages, the Series X and particularly the Series S have consistently been more readily available than the PS5.

It should be noted that total industry hardware sales are drastically down from this time in 2021. At present, the Xbox Series X|S has sold right around 14 million units.
