Mat Piscatella of analyst firm Circana has revealed that the PS5 was the market leader in North America for both unit and dollar sales during not only March 2024, but the first quarter of the year as a whole.
Writing on Twitter, Piscatella revealed that spending for video game hardware in February 2024 dropped 32% in comparison to the same period last year, totalling $391 million. In addition, spending for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch each fell a minimum of 30% year-on-year.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Fireshine Games and Linköping-based (Sweden) indie games developer Pugstorm, are today very excited and happy to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their mining sandbox game “Core Keeper”, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) through digital stores on August 27th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

You simply just wait for sales on ubi games. They tend to drop quick and especially heavily after half a year or so.
Choosing Epic over Steam and antagonizing the entire physical media fanbase, it's no wonder the masterpiece Alan Wake 2 didn't make a profit.
This is North America only.
Somehow I doubt all of that spiel.
But PS5 and Switch still outsells XBOX embarrassingly even with overall consoles sales decline.
This is not surprising in the slightest. The song will continue to remain the same.
And in other news wet is water.
