PlayStation 5 bypassed the Nintendo Switch, becoming the best-selling console of 2022 in the UK, reports GamesIndustry. .biz
This result was achieved thanks to an increase in deliveries by 56% in August. Last month's switch sales also saw a 4% increase.
The Xbox Series X|S metrics, in turn, remained at the same level.
In total, about 125,000 consoles were sold in the country in August, which is 20% more than a month earlier, but total sales for the incomplete year were 36% less (880,000) than in the first eight months of 2021.
As for the games, the best-selling in August was Saints Row.
In digital format, the relaunch of the Volition fighter bypassed other games with a big margin, but in terms of the number of physical copies only took second place after LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
In addition, despite the smaller user base, the game sold 21% more on Xbox platforms. DualSense controllers in white and black continue to be the leading accessories.
On the third line, there was an Xbox gamepad in Robot White, and the Carbon Black version rose from 132nd to 8th place.
