Thanks to the release of the best-selling game Splatoon 2 on Nintendo, that helped in instantly fueling the sales of the console. However, on a report published by NPD, Sony’s PlayStation is still going to remains as the best-selling console in the world on a year to date basis. Meaning the Sony console is soon going to get back in his initial position in no time.



Reportedly Nintendo made sales worth $182 million in the US in July, which rose up to 29 percent when compared to last year’s sale in 2016. Unfortunately for Xbox One hardware developers, their product doesn’t seem to be standing anywhere near in this competition. Now a report on Piscatella also claims that these Nintendo sales are likely to increase by the end of this year, taking the revenue up to $1.6 billion, showing an increase of 20 %. This can get worrisome for Play Station, who used to dominate the gaming world just a few months back.
