Sales of all consoles are down – dip into PS5 and Switch too

We also informed you that sales X-Box Consoles have been on the decline since last year. However, 2024 doesn’t seem to be going well for him either PS5but not to Nintendo Switchwhose sales were similarly down this year.

Specifically, Christopher Dring, editor-in-chief of GamesIndustry.biz, open:

The console market is still having a terrible year. Console sales are down 30% in the UK this year. Xbox Series console sales were down less than 25%, PS5 sales were down just over 25%, and Switch sales were down 38%.

In April, only 71,000 consoles were sold in the UK, which is one of the largest gaming markets in the world. This means that compared to last year, appliances made a 39% jump in the vacuum. In fact, this situation is likely to continue until we see new hardware or major game releases that will help boost sales.

In terms of games, April’s best-selling title in this market has been since 2015! Yes, you read that correctly. A relatively quiet month in terms of new releases, combined with the huge success of the Fallout TV series, sent Fallout 4 to the top of the charts. Meanwhile, Fallout: New Vegas takes eighth place and Fallout 76 takes ninth place, with the still-precedented Fallout 3 narrowly missing the top ten.

In addition to Fallout, PS5’s Stellar Blade debuted in 12th place, while the usual suspects like Helldivers 2, EA Sports FC 24, Call of Duty, GTA, Hogwarts Legacy, and Red Dead Redemption 2 also made an appearance.

Here is a list of the ten best-selling games (retail + digital) in April in the UK.

1. Fallout 4 (Bethesda)
2. EA Sports FC 24 (EA)
