Armored Core 6 and Remnant 2 are runaway successes. Love to see it.
3rd party releases seem to have boosted Xbox past the Switch. How about some sale Nintendo?? Are you really gonna milk that profit margin till Switch 2 releases?
Sony seems to be the king of accessories with the top 8 being all theirs. Now throw in there the Portal, Pulse Explore earbuds, Pulse Elite headset and the new Dualsense colours that were announced yesterday and it seems their goal is to kick everyone out of the Top 10 not having "Playstation" in their name.

 

[Horseganador]

PlayStation 5 increased in units sold compared to August 2022 (341k in 2022) they should be over 350k, Xbox and Switch decreased their sales....

 

[Unknown Soldier]

AC6 doing pretty well for the first new IP from From Software in a decade

I'm honestly not sure if I need a /s here or not

 

[Sanepar]

Subs down thanks gamers to fight back the netflixation of games industry. Buy games!

Forgot to add this one to the second post. Will also add the HW sales estimations from Welfare to the OP.

Remnant 2 rules. Love that they’re seeing this success.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Mario Kart 8 in the top 10 again. Who is buying these!? Is there 2 copies for every switch sold at this point? This game came out in 2014.

 

[Luminoth-4545]

- PS2 sold 50K in it's 13th year for a total of 46.34 million
- X360 sold 20K in it's 13th year for a total of 43.22 million

Armored Core 6 let's fucking go.

Loving my time with the game.

- X360 sold 20K in it's 13th year for a total of 43.22 million

Wow, didn't realize how badly X360 was beating PS3 in the US.

Yeah, I made the mistake of thinking Xbox got a bit of a bump, turns out Switch just sold worse.

Sept is gonna be extremely interesting.

 

[Gambit2483]

- Switch is in decline and declines by double digits (in August)
- There's nothing as big as TOTK on the horizon
- Switch 2 not releasing for over another 12 months??

Make it make sense.

Hogwarts leading the year? Man Harry Potter is still as big as ever.

I see people keep missing the incredibly relevant stat that PlayStation dual sense keeps destroying the competition.

I appreciate the fact that it's also in purple color lol

It's a great controller. The newest update adding haptics to the dashboard prompts is a nice intuitive touch as well.

It's 2:1 in the US, despite Welfare's conservative estimates? Wow.

 

[Blade2.0]

I'm very happy to see AC6 up there. The AC series was never a huge seller before so this basically shows From can do no wrong at this point in time...until they implement microstansactions into their games.

 

[Danjin44]

Seeing Armoured Core series getting recognition it deserves is magical, its Nier Automata all over again and I'm all for it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

"We're gonna need more publishers."

 

[TheGodfather07]

Remember when some people thought xbox could take the US this gen? The gap became bigger instead. Even after Microsoft having a much cheaper model and buying studios and publishers.

 

[Luminoth-4545]

Wow, didn't realize how badly X360 was beating PS3 in the US.

Which is why Microsoft committed suicide with the Xbox One, the Xbox brand was so strong in America that they had to seriously fuck up to lose all the gains they made with the 360 and of course that's exactly what they did.

 

[yazenov]

If by next month Xbox Sales are still down on the Starfield launch month then it's the final nail in the coffin.

ya it wasnt even close. i remember going to many walmart/gamestop midnight releases and there would be 50+people in line and only about 3 of us were getting the ps3 copies. MS really xboned it with xbox one.

 

[Fake]

Kudos to Armored Core. From Software never miss.

HL kicking ass.

Hell yeah. Subs going down. Fuck subs.

 

[Saber]

Way to go Armored Core!
Fromsoftware is on fire!

I don't think people realize the view from up top , Starfield might be the proof that Microsoft needed that it's not much use to focus on Xbox Hardware.

 

[Moneal]

The end goal now seems to be getting gamepass on everything possible.

 

[Heisenberg007]

PS5 carrying the US hardware market (console + accessories)!

Also, Xbox declined in August, days before Starfield's release, is indeed shocking. I thought XBS numbers would go up, but PS5 will still take the lead. I did not expect the numbers to go down as well. It's indeed crazy out there!

Xbox selling less than Xbox One over the first three years is shocking. Its a huge fuck up considering the fact that the XBox One iteself was a huge fuck up.

I can understand the first two years. Covid, shortages, but to trail the xbox one in the third year? WTF. How does one keep his job after his predecessor lost his job over the xbox one fuck up?

Especially after releasing a console $200 cheaper than the xbox one. Honestly, this year is going to be a bloodbath unless starfield manages to turn things around.

What's weird is that the appeared to be doing everything right in the beginning. Most power console and cheapest console plus gamepass. It seemed like a winning combination. Then this happened.

No idea what they did wrong. People say games but even the competition had issues in the beginning and they managed to do fine.

It's amazing to me that a 300 dollar XBox couldn't outsell the XBox One. I'm also curious how front loaded in sales the XBox Series S/X will turn out to be this generation. Will they even sell another 20 million by the end of this gen?

Sony started with games right away and never stopped.

It launched with a megaton Miles Morales that is still selling (NPD charts 2023), despite being on PS+ for over a year!

Then Demon’s Souls, Ratchet, Returnal, Horizon. GT7, God of War, FFXVI, etc.

The difference is absolutely games. A company that’s trying to decrease PS market share needed better and more games than PlayStation. They started with 0 instead.

I was making a reference to the PS3. They started off slow but it never got this bad.

 

[noobie]

Sony's target for 25 million in the year, look more and more out of reach.
Let see how good Spiderman-2 performs.

I mean this is just NPD. ROTW also has to be considered. Also that's fiscal year not just the rest of 2023.

Not really. These numbers aren't indicative of the WW totals.

 

[Raonak]

Can't wait to see PS5 numbers once spidey2 comes out. Its gonna be a bloodbath ain't it.

The big question is whether starfield will give Xbox the numbers to be #1 during sep.

 

[Imtjnotu]

this months going to be a blood bath if xbox doesnt take the #1 spot
