PS5 Was The Market Leader In Unit & Dollar Sales For Q1 2024 And March In US

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.

This is North America only.

What will happen when Sony announce a new Uncharted, Killzone, Tsushima or Horizon ..

[ChronoJoe]

Ah yes, Killzone that'll light the world on fire.

I'm joking but I do wish it were likely or more popular.

[shinoff2183]

I'd rather an upgrade over some fps personally. Like a true rpg not some action game with a couple of rpg lite mechanics in it.

[Jingsing]

To be fair Sony usually know when to let a franchise go dormant, They gave Killzone over 6 different games and it never reached that summit. You end up in a situation like Microsoft if you just keep hammering out Halo and Gears and Forza etc. Microsoft should be smart enough to let them games go.

I thoroughly enjoy my open world games, but highest interest will always be the shooter genre lol it's just something about a good well crafted shooter with lore to it something like the Max payne series

[TheColbertinator]

Somehow I doubt all of that spiel.

[ravens52]

Lmao. Perfect example of the denial.

[Hofstaderman]

But PS5 and Switch still outsells XBOX embarrassingly even with overall consoles sales decline.

[Giga_Gaia]

At this point, I think PS5 and Switch sell more in one month than Xbox does in an entire quarter...

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Try semester.

[Ironmike]

Stop being sad mt just enjoy ur console of choice and just accept there's not only ps5 in the world

[Elda]

This is not surprising in the slightest. The song will continue to remain the same.

[romulus23]

And in other news wet is water.

[Ironmike]

What dose this site do go on reddit and steal there news lol

[Jingsing]

The fact that Xbox still sells 200k units a month in NA is pretty sad. I'm pretty sure if Nintendo or Sony had put no effort in for the last 10 years it would be less than 20k a month. I really don't understand how they are moving that many. Unless they are just giving them away. On top of the fact they have completely sullied the brand and told people to stop buying them. That is even out in the open when I speak to people outside of online console sphere.

Is this supposed to surprise anyone? Congrats Sony

[Demetrius]

When I got back to play gems like true crime new york, hulk ultimate destruction etc and then play 60 fps titles on the ps5 it's a good thing how far gaming has come even tho greedy selfish corporate mfs want to ruin it but they can't there's still studious like guerilla, Santa Monica, sucker punch, tech land, atleast we have some type of gems each gen

[RhinoGamer88]

Will not affect the large bonus and stock options Phil and his exec cronies will receive. #failteam #cronism

[S2Killinit]

Yea, but I feel Phil is on his last legs, he will surely be sacked, if only to put a new face on their corporate mouthpiece.

[RhinoGamer88]

Sacked with a multi-million parachute...
