Console sales dropped slightly in June compared with June, with a fall in sales for all three major platforms.
Nearly 104,000 games machines were sold across the UK last month (GfK UK panel units), a drop of 16% month-on-month. Overall, this year-to-date, games console sales are down 38%. Note: June has four weeks in it, while June had five.
PS5 sales dropped the least during June (down 14%), and as a result it’s now the UK’s second most popular console of 2023, just behind Nintendo Switch. PS5 and Xbox Series X continue to be held back by stock shortages.
