GSD is reporting only the fact sales numbers were received from partners. There are partners (like Nintendo), who are not sharing the digital sales numbers, which might affect the overall picture.
Games
- Game sales increased by 7% compared to June 2022. It’s happened because of a bunch of great releases this year.
- Diablo IV is the best-selling game of June in the UK. Currently, it’s the second title by sales dynamic after Hogwarts Legacy and, maybe, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (but Nintendo is not sharing digital data).
- 57% of Diablo IV sales came from PC.
- Final Fantasy XVI reached second place in sales. In the first two weeks sales numbers are 36% worse than Final Fantasy VII: Remake had. However, Square Enix seems to be satisfied with the results.
- F1 2023 is third. In the first 3 weeks of sales, it performed 49% worse than the previous installation. Interesting that 48.5% of sales came from the Xbox Series S|X – that’s a rare situation.
- Street Fighter 6 started from the 8 position in the chart. 52% of sales came from the PS5.
- 82% of all sales in June 2023 were digital.
Hardware
- Console sales in June 2023 increased by 15% and reached 110k.
- PlayStation 5 increased by 43% compared to May. Demand is partly connected with discounts.
- Nintendo Switch sales dropped by 20%. It seems that everyone, who wanted to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, already bought the console.
- Xbox Series S|X sales increased by 31% MoM.
- On June 2023, 722k consoles have been sold in the UK. It’s 11% more than a year before. PlayStation 5 sales increased by 66%. Nintendo Switch dropped by 10%; Xbox Series S|X – by 23%.
