In hardware, Nintendo Switch was the top selling platform, though it was Xbox Series that had the biggest percentage growth over the week prior. We’re a little ways away from the Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Super Mario Red Nintendo Switch OLED Model, but rest assured…it will move units. See you next week!
