Nintendo Switch the Fastest Selling Console in US History
Despite an odd release date for a home console - March typically isn't when new consoles launch - Nintendo looks to have made the correct decision as it was announced this week that the Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console in US video game history, within a 10 month span.
