Switch 2 has become the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history, usurping the PS4


Nintendo's Switch successor - the aptly named Switch 2 - has become the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history.

That's according to the latest data from Circana, with analyst Mat Piscatella revealing 1.6m Switch 2 units were sold in the US during the console's launch month.
