Update: Original tweet was confusing but judging from Benji’s tweet it was the Switch No.1 for March 2022:
The latest video game charts for the United States are finally here thanks to sales tracker, The NPD Group. The best-selling hardware for the month of March was the Xbox Series X|S and the No.1 game was Elden Ring, which remains the best-selling game of 2022 in the United States. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the 2nd best-selling game but digital sales aren’t counted. Kirby and the Forgotten Land performed well at retail entering the charts at No.3, though again, digital sales aren’t provided by Nintendo of America. The best-selling accessory for the month was the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller.
