It is the beginning of a new year, and with that in mind, GI.biz polled a number of video game analysts to ask for their predictions for gaming in the year to come.

One surveyed analyst was Mat Piscatella of the NPD Group. One of his predictions is that the Nintendo Switch, not the newer, more powerful PS5 or Xbox Series X|S consoles, will sell the most units in 2021 in the US.

"Despite the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, it will be the Nintendo Switch that ends up selling the most units of console hardware in 2021," Piscatella said.
