Dual Sense: £50
Dual Sense Edge Pro controller: £200

I can assure you that nobody is buying the £200 Pro controller to because of stick drift.

Your right, I misread the quote and I'm a little salty.

Basically biggest June for PlayStation since MGS4 released…which also marked the beginning of the turnaround for PlayStation back then.

PS5 is in evrry way bigger than the ps4. It just hasn’t surpassed it because of thise covid years but even that will change soon.

The gap between PS4 and PS5 aligned is 1.8 million (38.4m to 40.2m), PS4 shipped 3.5 million in it's next aligned quarter so PS5 will reduce the gap further by a decent amount. We get Sony's quarterly earnings report on August 9th.

 

[Ozriel]

Xbox losing steam at this stage is crazy. Looks like a truly crazy decision to raise prices, given this.

does anyone have the SFV numbers to try to compute a ballpark figure for FFXVI? Higher than SF6 which is supposedly more than twice SF5.

 

[Imtjnotu]

No GTA 5!

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This ain't right! I'll be calling my senator!

 

[Sanepar]

You don't have to imagine it, to be honest.

TBH we gonna have a bad picture from gamepass subs next quarters since they are ending xbox live and peopel will need to have gamepass to play online so subs will go up anyway.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Its encouraging to see Hogwarts Legacy have such legs. I hope we get a sequel (and a patch with NG+).

 

[FalsettoVibe]

"Accessories
Accessories spending during June increased 14% when compared to a year ago, totaling $214 million. June’s top 4 best-selling accessories in dollar sales were PlayStation 5 DualSense gamepads, led by the DualSense Edge."

And people think Project Q won't sell......lol

Now we know why Marathon is sitting at 19 million views lol

19M views for a trailer with no gameplay....lol
This game is gonna smash. Can't wait to see more.

 

[solidus12]

Good to see that traditional gaming is alive and well.

Microsoft’s efforts to sabotage and destroy this industry haven’t paid off yet.

 

[yazenov]

Its seems Diablo didn't do much for the Xbox sales since its primary a PC game as expected, despite the exclusive marketing.

I expect the same with Startfield since its primary a PC game as well.

Xbox needs a game to sell their consoles and I don't think they have anything coming for a long time, if ever.

Oh and those people who were "concerned" for Final Fantasy 16 sales can rest assured now that the game is selling well. Hehe.

 

[Heisenberg007]

This ain't right! I'll be calling my senator!

 

[MirageMew2]

Hogwarts domination isn’t surprising at all, last-gen release is still relatively fresh. It’s short of being the next GTA V or Mario Kart 8 without some type multiplayer imo

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Final Fantasy XVI only 1 week of sales too. Launched June 23rd, PS5 only.

vs

Street Fighter 6 launched 2nd June, 1 month of sales. Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Arcade game, Microsoft Windows

vs

Diablo 4, launched launched 5th June. Nearly 1 month of sales. Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's crazy how Xbox is declining in its prime! Less than three years out, it should be increasing. It's headed into what is typically the best year in a console's life cycle.

Award them with more 3rd party publishers! They're industry management is impeccable.

I've been told we just need to wait another year or decade. Then they'll be firing on all cylinders.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Portable PC gaming is very close to taking off.

Good news for traditional games sales.

The fact MS thought they could treat the videogame industry like movies and tv shows was always weird in the first place.

The truth is i have PS Plus but i always end up spending most of my time prioritizing the games that i wanted to buy in the first place...not the ones a company CHOOSES for me to play.

 

[yazenov]

- Momentum continues to swing away from Sub/Add-On spend towards big new premium games

This makes me so happy. Fuck subscriptions and give me more new big premium games.

 

[Luigi Mario]

Surprising that the Switch ranked second in both units and revenue after TotK had such a strong start in May. I would have expected the Switch to at least still take #1 in unit sales, but PlayStation having their best June since 2010, which were PS3, PSP and PS2 sales combined, puts things into perspective.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Consumer reports. Sweet. I hope my thing was bought by more people for my own validation.

Salt.

I like Playstation a lot, but this triggers me to no end. I'm going to have to buy a thrid DS controller due to analog drift and I have a suspicion that's one of the reasons they're selling so many.

Errrr.....

Dual Sense: £50
Dual Sense Edge Pro controller: £200

I can assure you that nobody is buying the £200 Pro controller because of stick drift.

Thank you!

 

[BrunoCoel]

So June’s top sellers ranking is as follows:

1 - PS5 in both units and dollar sales
2 - Switch in both
3 - Other Consoles

Calling it other is even more of an insult, and they don't even see it. It's like saying your brand is so nonexistent it can't even be named.

 

[Dick Jones]

Anyone know how did the Last Hope chart?

 

[Saber]

This gen is pretty much done for Xbox and I don't see Starfield turning things around.
It might push Xbox to #2 in september, but that won't last.

Kinda hard to believe they will even move to 2nd when people doesn't need a Xbox to play Starfield. And even if a person have a Xbox, they will play on GP.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Not people, GAF and certain other outlets. Basically, the people you should never listen to when it comes to things lie these.

Said it before, once, sites ie Gaf used to be a way to get a feel of the gaming industry... now, people's egos and need to be right, have the hottest takes, and platform warring has taken precedence over common sense.

embarrassing when you consider that outside a reveal, no one yet knows what the thing actually is going to be or do. It does even have an official name yet and people are already saying its a flop.

 

[Woopah]

• Very impressive performance from PS5, FFXVI pushed hardware and a lot of new buyers picked up Spiderman which bodes well for October
• Still strong legs for Switch in its 7th year after winning the last 2 months
• I know Nintendo doesn't share digital, but I think this is the first time I've seen more Sony games on the list than Nintendo ones.
• Big big software wins for ABK, SE and Capcom, plus its cool that Story of Seasons made the top 20

Jimbo rn:

And No GTA V

This might be the first time I've seen no GTAV in the top 20.

No GTA 5!

TIME FOR THST GTA ANNOUNCEMENT

GTA hasn't shown for a while since Take 2 stopped sharing digital.

Could the Spiderman 1 and Miles boost be attributed to the PlayStation Showcase and showing of Spiderman 2?
It did get a lot of views so maybe new PS5 owners went out and got the older ones they hadn't played.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Crazy ps5 numbers. Amazing to be beating 2008 etc.

Rog Ally putting in work. Love to see it.

Let's go!

 

[Klosshufvud]

Portable PC gaming is very close to taking off.

I'm guessing he's referring to ROG Ally? Like a discussion in another thread, we have now the technology (thank you, godly RDNA3 chips) to make some really good gaming hardware in a portable form factor. This is a paradigm shift and I don't think it has sunk in yet. Once a true big player (hellooooo MS?) decides to commit, we'll see the ball roll and never stop.

 

[Tsaki]

'The PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge remains the best-selling accessory of 2023 in dollar sales.'
Sony was leaving money on the table for so long. Why they took so many years to get on the Pro controller train is really puzzling. Also, this June, PS5 outsold all Junes in the PS4 era.

 

[Ronin_7]

Spidey games will always be selling.

Spidey 2 will be a monster of course.

Smart for them launching the Spider-Man 2 console in Starfield's month. Results should be interesting.

 

[Luigi Mario]

Also, for Xbox Series consoles to not be ahead of the Switch in revenue YTD makes me wonder about the actual sales ratio between Series S and X. Could be higher than most people seem to think.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Smart for them launching the Spider-Man 2 console in Starfield's month. Results should be interesting.

Would have been really cool if both Starfield and Spider-Man 2 launched in the same month.

Had MS not delayed Starfield last year, we'd have gotten the clash with God of War Ragnarok, which would have been equally cool!

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I can't imagine the pressure bethesda must be under.

 

[Captain Toad]

ARE these DOLLAR SALES.. not sells numbers??

It SAYS both.. !!11!!

 

[Ozriel]

Much more likely it was boosted by the Spiderman Across the Spiderverse movie that launched in June.

We’re truly not ready for the megaton boost Spiderman 2 will do to PS5 sales.

 

[Luminoth-4545]

Welfare from InstallBase hardware estimations for June 2023

PS5: 420K
NSW: 350K
XBS: 230K

Compared to June 2022

NSW: 400K estimate
PS5: 277K leaked number
XBS: 260K leaked number

This lines up with Switch and XBS being a bit down and PS5 being massively up.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Kinda hard to believe they will even move to 2nd when people doesn't need a Xbox to play Starfield. And even if a person have a Xbox, they will play on GP.

I’d imagine a lot of Starfield players are also baked into the existing userbase. The Xbox output has not been great at all really, but they’ve done a good job of selling ‘future’ games at their showcases.

Gat damn if that is accurate.

Those xbox usa sales numbers is around what ps5 sold in japan in june.

 

[Flabagast]

Good for FF16, the decision to make it exclusive was probably the right move.

Those Xbox numbers look worse and worse every month though. Does MS plan to react ? Will fanboys finally understand that gamepass strategy is a direct road to the grave ? Let's find out next month.

The Switch is probably at ~130 million units sold, I think we've reached that point of everyone who wants a switch has a switch. Besides it was number 1 when TotK came out but most people who owns a switch for BotW already had a switch for TotK.

And yet Switch sold more in June than Xbox Series X + S combined.

Fuckin' A - FFXVI 1 week only sales.

 

[Aenima]

NIce to see sub losing momentum and gamers buying premium games at full price. This is the model to have great games and diversity.

Yeah im subbed to PS+ Extra, but knowing this makes me happy. I think the videogame market will be much more healthy if ppl keep buying full priced games, and not just waiting for them to appear on a subscription service.

I already created some bad habits of ignoring alot of game sales, cuz back in my mind im always expecting them to eventually drop on the sub. But i still buy some games day 1 if im really interested in them.

 

[Poltz]

I was told there was no proof Xbox Series was below Xbox One launch aligned.

The Zelda Affect was also during April when the Zelda: Totk Oled model launched, So Zelda helped Switch take April and May but June was going to be really tough with FFXVI, SF6 and Diablo IV releasing for PS5. It was expected that PS5 would get a huge boost over May and be Number one in June.
