On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
"This is GSD figures, which tracks all digital game sales from most major publishers (Nintendo data is absent), and physical game sales in all major European markets."
"The No.1 selling game in May this year was EA Sports FC 24, followed by Grand Theft Auto 5. F1 2024 races in at No.3. The PC release of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut sends the PlayStation game up to No.4."
"11.6 million PC and console games were sold across European markets in May. Compared with the same five week period in 2023, that's a drop of nearly 17%."
"Hellblade 2, System Shock Remake, and the Rogue Prince of Persia all missing out on the Top 100."
I need an xbox fan to explain to me how Hellblade didn't even enter the top 100 since Game Pass doesn't effect sales and you guys are all just using the service as a trial to buy the games later.... /s (for sigh)
Also tell me again how 3.5 M sales first month for FF was bad...
If Microsoft didn't buy the developer this could have been a multiplatform game and if they wanted they still could have got it day 1 on Game Pass.
If I worked at Ninja Theory I'd be sprucing up my resume right about now.
Here we go.. too much barking about EA CEO getting a big bonus when the same ones are buying his games. So pathetic
The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console in Europe
PS5 = 300,126
Switch = 158,473
Xbox Series = 68,592
Brilliant sales for PS5 and Switch in her twilight years.
Utterly appalling sales for Xbox, my God.
It will also be interesting what a potential switch 2 will do to current generation consoles. That's why maybe there is the rumored PS5 Pro. I think MS should have released an updated version themselves especially when they are asking $600 for a 2TB version
Ms should just do their next Xbox as a open platform Pc and charge premium like steam deck. Just do Xbox brand PC's. Xbox as a brand is at its least valuable point. So many of their future games are coming to Playstation too I think once Phil finally decides on halo and gears flood gates will open. Just release a gear of war collection before the next one comes out. Your gamepass users are happy to have the games day one and other platforms pay full price so MS generates more money
That is a rumor going around so maybe. It would make sense with their handheld rumors too.
"I think MS should have released an updated version themselves especially when they are asking $600 for a 2TB version"
The One X sold 6 million or less and the SX is way underperforming the the One by significant margins at this point. A mid gen xbox console would have absolutely been a money flush. Power is not going to sell consoles for them if a 40% advantage failed so badly. And their most popular console by far is the series s.
I would prefer if xbox stopped making xbox hardware and just became a publisher and stopped doing everything they can to make things worse for PlayStation gamers. I am so tired of the near daily B.S.
They started the console war from day 0 of xbox with the goal of bringing down PlayStation and it can't end until they leave. If there was no xbox people could actually talk about games again and not try to destroy anything that isn't on a platform.
Heck the whole reason we even have these articles about sales numbers is because Microsoft wanted to brag about the 360, no one talked about sales before that and no one wanted too except for Microsoft.
They simply aren't doing anything that is making gaming better for the consumer or the industry.
Switch 2 could make serious damage to PS by being capable of running all third party software going forward.
Publishers really like Nintendo platform cause software there makes more money.
@SimpleDad I can not see a Nintendo handheld being able to be as powerful as a PS5 and meeting a price that Nintendo wants to be at.
PS5 only 9% down year-on-year is arguably thanks to their recently released and well-received 2nd and 3rd party line-up.
• NSW down ~57%.
• X|S down ~43%.
Year-to-date, PS5 now has a 5.2:1 sales ratio compared to X|S in Europe.
That's boxslaugther.
300 divided by 68 = 4.41 PS5 consoles are sold per 1 xbox.

Insane? Is this even possible?
i can understand nintendo sales declining because fans are holding out for the switch 2
i can understand playstation sales declining because fans are holding out for the PS5 Professional
i can understand xbox sales declining
Xbox sales declining by pushing subscription model only. Basically Gamepass or nothing.
The NVIDIA RTX Remix tool is redefining the gaming industry and the modding community in the best way possible.
"NVIDIA's Generative AI-Powered Modding Tool Is A Gamechanger For The Industry"
True, the especially for all the industry that gets put out of work by it.
Have you ever used a self service checkout in a store? Should we ditch alarm clocks so that we can hire people to shoot peas at our bedroom windows to wake us up like they did in the 1800s?
Working at a grocery store as a checkout clerk used to be a respectable job that could support a family.
I try to avoid them at all costs, why should we do a cashiers/clerks job without any training and without being paid for it? Comparing people losing their jobs to A.I. to people from the 1800's shooting peas is hilarious, good try though.
Gues you never saw the fast food joints that had ai everything even cooking was done by robots.

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!
Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.
This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.
I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?
