July has become a Nintendo month.

July was Nintendo's best month of the year so far in the US NPD Group's sales survey.

All data is for the period of July 8 to August 4.

In hardware, the Switch was the best selling system of July on both a unit sales and dollar sales basis, with Nintendo reporting their highest hardware unit sales for a July since 2009. This sets a bound for combined Nintendo hardware sales of between approximately 650k (July 2010) and 832k (2009).
