As we often say, the Switch is setting records the world over. That includes Canada, where we've just gotten a sales update from. The Switch was #1 in terms of console sales for November 2020, and that makes it the 25th consecutive month where Switch was in the pole position. Check out the full press release on this achievement below.

According to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales, the combined sales of the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite systems hit over 148,000 units in Canada in the month of November. With these strong sales numbers, Nintendo Switch achieved another milestone as the best-selling video game console in Canada for a record-breaking 25 consecutive months.
