NPD has been reducing the amount of data for years, way before the Xbox Series.

But they would at least say their names and have charts. Now? Nope.

The upper range for Switch and lower for Xbox Series are close to all-time records for May. Most hardware units shifted in May for Switch and... lowest hardware units sold in May for Xbox Series (for an Xbox console in only it's 3rd year)?

Kind of surprising that no one brought it up yet, but where is Redfall?

Second most units for Switch, behind May 2020, when Animal Crossing and the pandemic were still driving unprecedented sales.

No, this is for May. Diablo IV and Street Fighter 6 will definitely show up in June's NPD report.

"Other platforms"
Switch and playstation carrying the market and doing so without stepping on eachothers toes.

Got anything to back up that claim?
Of course, you have to dig deeper to find a month where PlayStation or Nintendo were dead last...
TOTK is a monster, wow
With digital it might actually be the best selling game of the year. On one (six and a half year old) system
Meh, they always promise they will go back to a regular schedule in a couple of months, but then delay it a few months down the line when the time comes. This has been going on since mid-2021, I just accept their reports will be very late at this point

I won't be surprised if Redfall didn't even chart in the Xbox platform individual chart. Oh wait, we don't even have those charts now. How convenient for Microsoft!

Right, they stopped sharing hardware and software data at a time when MS was doing reasonably well, and now they've stopped sharing software charts for all platforms. I think its far more likely than NPD is justs# continuing the trend of keeping more and more data hidden behind its paywall, to try and boost subscribers.
In Jan 2018 they said :“Double-digit percentage software sales growth on the Nintendo Switch platform was offset by declines across all other platforms.”
In October 2022 they said: "Double-digit percentage dollar sales growth for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles was offset by declines on other platforms."
For whatever reason they always mention the platforms that are growing, not the ones declining.

We literally had this exact conversaiton in the April NPD thread haha. This was the final official hardware and software hardware chart we got from NPD with numbers, in September 2010:
Xbox 360 -- 356,700
Nintendo DS -- 342,700
Wii -- 244,300
PlayStation 3 -- 226,000
PSP -- 79,400
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360) -- 920,800
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, PlayStation 3) -- 893,600
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo, Wii) - 124,600
Mafia II (Take 2 Interactive, Xbox 360) -- 121,600
New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo, DS) -- 110,400
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo)
Mafia II (Take 2 Interactive, PS3)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision Blizzard, Xbox 360)
NCAA Football 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360)
Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo)
Do you think Microsoft wanted NPD to stop telling everyone how well they were doing?

MS themselves still released numbers until changing it to MAU sometime after 2013/14. That's the point.
Woopah

Well exactly. Given that MS themselves kept releasing number for years afterwards, it is very unlikely that Microsoft was the reason NPD became more secretive.

I don't think it was just MS no, but I do feel it was mainly American companies that use the service.

Yeah I did wonder as this report is 6 weeks since their last almost, they need to keep to 4 weeks regularity.

Its anyone that is in the gaming market or wants to invest in the gaming market. US numbers are improtant for far more than just US companies.
But those companies want more data, not less. NPD put their data behind a paywall to persuade more companies subscribe.

PS5 more than double Xbox unit sales even when Sony was facing supply issues. 2023 will be even more dominant. 3x is looking more likely.
We already know that 2023 is worst for Xbox since its in a decline from last year.

Sony selling 69% of all high-end HD consoles to Xbox's 31% during the 4th quarter of 2022 is INSANE!!!! I think we've gotten to the point where we have all forgotten that Sony raised the price of the PS5 in many countries and it's still selling like this.
What will happen to XB Series sells when their console price hikes goes into effect?
