"XS Sales Down Just 2% YoY".... they are turning it around boys... hold the line!!!!
/s
April was actually pretty good then for Xbox. I had expected this as there was a run on the Series X pre price boost. I would expect May to be down by more but revenue might actually hold due to the price hike.
down 2% from an already low number is still bad. and if we look a little closer, 140K of those sales were from US alone, meaning that a meager 65K sold to the rest of the global market. outside of the US, xbox is a dead brand. and it is holding on by a string in its strongest territory. this is why MS had to go multiplatform. low xboxes sales means fewer gamepass subscriptions, which means you can't afford to put hundred million dollar budget games on the service anymore.
For the Switch to be down 37% with the same price shows that nearly everyone is just waiting on the Switch 2.
I gotta say I didn't expect PS5 sales to be down only 14% year-on-year, thought the decline would be higher.
Interesting:
PS5 being down 382k units compared to PS4's April in 2018 is probably the result of the God of War reboot release in April 2018.
It was even the later half of April, the 20th.
Great exclusives can have a pretty strong impact on hardware sales I guess.
they can, but PlayStation also enjoys the benefit of being the console of choice for all AAA third-party releases as well. id imagine when GTA6 launches, you are going to see massive PS5 sales along with it.
Yeah, I think the month GTA6 will finally get released, we should see a substantial growth in hardware units being sold.
It should, no matter when, be a 1m month in units easily.
"PS5 being down 382k units compared to PS4's April in 2018 is probably the result of the God of War reboot release in April 2018."
Nah, it's more about the rising costs of the PlayStation subscription and the console price going up. If tariffs increase, I've got a feeling the PS5 Pro could be the first console to break the $1k barrier in the USA.

The Nintendo Switch is now a little over 300,000 units away from outselling the Xbox One at the end of November and it should surpass it in December.
Healthy sales all around.
Good figures for the Switch,
Selling better than both rival platforms the last 3 months.
