Independent video game industry analyst Benji-Sales via Twitter revealed that video game hardware sales for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the US increased in March after a slow January and February.
"Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 all saw significant gains in hardware sales in March over January and February in the US," said Benji. "March was a really fantastic month for the video game industry as whole. One small bit of good news in today's stressful times."
"Also something pretty interesting," he added. "I THINK this month had the highest % of Switch Lite sales ever Had the Lite not existed overall Switch sales would have been nowhere near what we will see. Shortages in US for Standard Model are severe."

Not surprised, I've been tempted to buy a Switch given I spend more time at home. The only thing stopping me is a massive backlog I should focus on first.
I don't see that coming for XB/PS4 according to the figures in VGC
Ps4 was undertracked last year whilst switch was overt tracked. I reckon is the same this year.
