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.

Gamers can now get a Black Ops 6 Calling Card that'll be in-game at launch. Activision sending old school pagers to content creators.
The Nerd Stash: "Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has some of the best graphics on Xbox, but there are PlayStation games that look even better."
Lol some sony fans now disagreeing with DF !?
They said :
Hellblade 2 is a defining moment in the evolution of real-time graphics".
(The Next Level in Real-Time Visuals)
Game
Takes advantage of everything UE5 offers
- Final game 'lives up to the lofty expectations' of the 2019 reveal
- Character rendering sets new standards and nearly resembles movie sequences with actual actors
- Leverages Unreal's Meta Human 5 to bypass the uncanny valley feel
- DF were left guessing whether some cut-scenes were in-game or real life footage (photo mode shows they're all real time)

Right now nothing on PS looks better than HB2.
5 PlayStation Exclusive Games" also on PC..
so what Exclusive? No one here confesses and accepted the word "Console exclusive". they were making jokes about it!
😂
@FTLmaster
Sony fans were making jokes first about the word " Console exclusive" here and on other sites.
Now they use the word by themselves.
Lol
I write console exclusive all the time. I use it in Xbox’s favor too. Those are the games I generally go after over there.
Now I understand who these articles are written for.
Just buy and support the game so MS doesn't shut down Ninja Theory.
You cant really talk when xbox has all its games released elsewhere. Not a good look.
This article says Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima has better graphics than Hellblade 2 i'm done! 🤣
DF can talk from its arse all it wants. I’m sure they are spending their advertising money wisely.
People are free to disagree with DF, it's debatable how impartial they are.
The article is a bit of a stretch though. Hellblade has an open goal graphically because it's using the latest tech on small areas with crap framerate so the fidelity is through the roof. It's not impressive to me personally but it's an achievement that shouldn't be denied.
Yes. But then a picture can be extremely beautiful but you cant really play it. Hellblade must be beautiful but it has low frames, and its pretty much on rails so it does not really impress me personally.
what good are graphics when rest of the game is a walking sim (coming from a pc fan) if it's only about graphics than any game can push the boundary but that's without much gameplay
to me gears of war 5 is more impressive because it had the graphics and gameplay to back it up, just like uncharted 2 back in the day. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is also up there.
I don't understand people. Both the PS5 and Xbox one X are great machines. I own both and could care less which system has a game that is marginally better looking than the other. Yes, Hellblade 2 is the best-looking console game right now, but it isn't a huge leap over what the PS5 has. Since I am not tied to one company's console, I see things differently I guess.
Okay, I've played all of those, and they looked good for their time. This game just takes realism to a whole other level. some would even say uncanny valley-esq at times.
Maybe that's why people are having a hard time with this game... its almost too real and makes them uneasy about it.
lol, really???? The title sounds so desperate. Those games are excellent but not in the same league.
..."not in the same league graphics wise*" Fixed it so you don't sound too crazy. Also not sure its in "another league" but I haven't seen it in person so 🤷🏽 idk.
I would say those games are on a much higher level because Hellblade is a game made to look great but its not on par when it comes to how it is linear with small playing areas and low frames. Anyone can do that, but is it a good game? No.
...now I remember why I hate gaming media, it's because 99.9% are like this article.
yeh, probably gonna have to wait for 'Death Stranding 2: On the beach', to get better environments and facial animation than this.
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.
