[Topher]

Console industry looking as healthy as ever, even when down from last year.

[Kacho]

Can you post the charts in the tweets? This goofball has tweets protected or something.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Xbox = COD literally. Replace ABK with Microsoft and most of the chart would Xbox first party.

 

[SlimySnake]

Need to see game sales numbers. What's the tally for GT7 and HFW?

That's funny.

What's going on here? Are Xbox gamers suddenly running out and buying all the call of duty games because of the acquisition? Or was there some sort of platform specific call of duty sale on?

You should really wait for the deal to pass before you post dumb shit like this

I believe COD (several entries) charts every month on Xbox.

PS5 number #1 for June and H1 in terms of revenue

Both Xbox Series S/X and Switch were ahead a month ago...for PS5 to surpass both in a single month, stock must've been huge in June!

They basically erased the Xbox Seres S/X lead from the first half of the year in a single month, lmao.

Sony wasn't kidding when talking about stock getting better...

Spiderman seems to be the voluntary game of choice of new ps5 owners
Elden Ring baller
But will the industry learn variety and quality is good or duurrrrr hire George rr Martin to do world building

 

[Lognor]

Xbox holding on to that number 2 position ytd
Switch continuing to kill it

Good stuff all around

 

[Gambit2483]

What's Xbox "big" game for the year? I haven't been keeping up lately. I know Sony = GOW, Nintendo = Pokemon/Bayo 3, but no idea what's coming for Xbox this year

- YTD Units: Switch, XBS, PS5

It would be interesting if he could break those numbers down by model. Switch, Switch Lite, Switch OLED, XSS, XSX, PS5, PS5 DE

Since Starfield was delayed there really isn't a big first party game for Xbox this year.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I believe COD (several entries) charts every month on Xbox.

And Halo no longer is.

There isn't any. The last big Xbox game was Halo Infinite from last year. Which is an interesting title considering that it's dying as well.

Xbox next big AAA game is coming more than a year after their last big release basically.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Elden Ring is a giga beast, already among the top 10 best selling games of all time in the US. That's insane. They need to give us the DLC asap.

Miles is further establishing itself as the PS5 evergreen, it outsold Horizon in June.

Mario Strikers did decent in the land of handegg, I guess the game isn't the semi-bomba I thought it would be, especially considering it's selling really well in Europe.

Weird flex from Overwatch.

Quarry sales kinda disappointing, but also kinda expected.

 

[AV]

Quarry sales kinda disappointing, but also kinda expected.

Insane buy-in price for something most people will play through in 1-2 sittings and never ever touch again. I wanna play it but I'll be picking it up used and selling.

 

[Fake]

Elden Ring > all

 

[reksveks]

Quarry sales kinda disappointing, but also kinda expected

It's on the other forum but apparently it doesn't include digital sales.

 

[Boy bawang]

I've always wondered why US charts always put such emphasis on revenue rather than units, compared Japan charts for example where units are the only figure of merit considered.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

It's on the other forum but apparently it doesn't include digital sales.

Oh, that makes it less disappointing then.

nothing lol they had Starfield but got delayed

 

[adamsapple]

- Total HW down 8%,

That's well within great acceptable numbers going by the hardware shortage.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Holy shit. Enters TOP 10 of all time in U.S..
Imagine going from niche Demon soul in 2009 to a juggernaut in 2022.

 

[Ozriel]

Both Xbox Series S/X and Switch were ahead a month ago...for PS5 to surpass both in a single month, stock must've been huge in June!

…or the lead could have been small. PS5 led in revenue in February and only dropped off with very limited stock in March/April.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Oh, that makes it less disappointing then.

If you look carefully at the list you will see the digital sales not included * next to The Quarry's name just like the Nintendo titles.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

And Halo no longer is.

Its multiplayer is F2P...It is dropped from Most Played too though, but it is a separate matter.

Spiderman seems to be the voluntary game of choice of new ps5 owners

Spider-man is one of the biggest IPs in the world, so it is not that surprising.

 

[adamsapple]

I wouldn't have expected it to be a repeat chart topper anyway, the game did great for what it is.

From the other place, overtook XBS in June not both.

I think it's reasonable to say that all three consoles are very close to each other in terms of sales.

 

[Topher]

Love seeing it too. Leaves little room for complacency.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Maybe you misunderstood me. I was talking about revenue:



It's back to #1 and it's not just for the month. "both June and the first half of calendar 2022".

Gamepass?

 

[Belthazar]

Horizon II doing great, as I don't think the bundles are counted in the dollar sales charts. Good to see.

Sometimes stereotypes are just right. Xbros vs PS waifus.

 

[Jaybe]

Decent numbers all around. Good to see all platforms healthy. YoY declines aren't too shocking as we are coming off pandemic spike. Nice that ER and LEGO continue to stomp.

 

[SportsFan581]

…or the lead could have been small. PS5 led in revenue in February and only dropped off with very limited stock in March/April.

I can see where it would be difficult for Xbox to lead in revenue vs. PS. There are more XSS selling than DEs and at $100 less. They would need to outsell them by a good amount.

 

[reksveks]

Maybe you misunderstood me. I was talking about revenue:



It's back to #1 and it's not just for the month. "both June and the first half of calendar 2022".

For YTD revenue in May, it was already #2 and had been since March.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I can see where it would be difficult for Xbox to lead in revenue vs. PS. There are more XSS selling than DEs and at $100 less. They would need to outsell them by a good amount.

Yeah, it's a sizeable difference in average revenue per console. Xbox at $400 and PS5 at $470 or so (idk if we have actual numbers from USA).

 

[Topher]

I can see where it would be difficult for Xbox to lead in revenue vs. PS. There are more XSS selling than DEs and at $100 less. They would need to outsell them by a good amount.

So how do you think the model unit sales rank stack up between Xbox and PS? I'm guessing: 1) XSS 2) PS5 3) XSX 4) PS5 DE

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Nice to see them all doing well. There's something for everyone. I've been mainly playing games on my deck lately.
