Hardware this week is another indication of the firm grip that a new Zelda release has on the nation: the Switch Lite has actually surpassed the OLED Model to claim the top spot, netting a total of 34,924 sales. The OLED isn't too far off though, and with the OG Switch taken into account, Nintendo has shifted a total of 74,351 consoles.
Meanwhile, PlayStation and Xbox are still hanging on, but honestly, neither platform is performing particularly well at the moment. Especially Xbox. Jeesh...
