Hardware side, as said in the introduction, there is an increase for all platforms : Switch models passed from 63,000 to 73,000 units sold, PlayStation 5 family passed from 11,000 to almost 40,000 units sold and same situation occurred for Xbox Series models, which passed from 5,000 to almost most 9,000 (the most due to the fact of larger availability of Xbox Series X).
So in the end Switch despite the release of Xenoblade 3 didn’t have a huge spike in sales but probably Nintendo is stocking units for the upcoming Splatoon 3 which will be published at the beginning of September, while both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series families had a good increase, so it’s likely to expect around the same numbers on the next week and probably for the following one ending on 14 August which corresponds to holidays for a lot of offices and shops all around the country.

  1. Nintendo Switch OLED – 42,355 / 2,097,719
