Halo Infinite also moving up to number 7 on the Xbox charts. I have to say, that is a bit of a W in my opinion considering it has no multiplayer, is on Game Pass and is months old now.
It also hints that possibly new customers are entering the Xbox platform.
Depending on how closely Xbox trailed behind, I suppose this could well mean more Xboxes sold than PlayStation 5s, since the Series S is so much cheaper.
6 games on the chart will be under the Xbox umbrella once the deal goes through. Pretty nice stuff.
Unreal that 4 CODâs are up there lol.
Gamers sure love CoD.
Yeah, in terms of units for both April and year-to-date it was Switch > Xbox > PS5

Not to downplay the disappointment people are feeling, but the proclamations of doom about the console are way overexaggerated, as the sales show. The consoles are selling with literally no games released recently. Now in terms of Game Pass that is a different conversation, but I think the console will be fine.
The strangest part to me is the best selling accessories. Itâs the DualShock 4. Not DualSense, DualShock 4. I wonder whatâs the context.
So here is an example how much of a beast the 360 was in the US. Despite PS4 having the generation handed to them on a plate, it still trails what the 360 did.
Also the Switch is going to blow past the PS4 this fiscal year.
The worst CoD is on number 6
Tells you about the intrest of gamers 
Sega doin well with their Sonic movies, plans for a 3rd one and a TV series.
Revenue $2.49b +15.6% YoY Operating Income $248.7m +492% YoY
Expecting an increase in revenue and new title releases in FY23.
16 titles to be released in FY23 for a total of 13.95m units, up from 13 titles in FY22 and 8.77m units.
I bought one last week to prepare for the new PS plus on PC.
Also Dualsense has 0 PC support. If it had full PC support even limited to its PS games it would sell way more. Imagine being able to customize and mod Dualsense features into existing PC gamesâŠ
PlayStation has backed themselves into a corner when it comes to controller features. Even unpopular features like PS4 touch and motion needed to be kept for PS5 controller. Then PlayStation doubled down and added more gimmicks for the ps5 controller.
The Xbox controller is standard and doesnât create generation to generation compatibility issues like PlayStation. Xbox games will transition easily to tv streaming apps because games on Xbox donât use gimmick controls. Also consider PC gamers play multiple generations through Steam. There is something to be said about creating a standard controller and not creating a Frankenstein controller like what PlayStation does every generation.
Xbox had a great Golden Week period in Japan
14k sold over 2 weeks.
Compared to last year where Xbox was barely doing 2k.
Yes they arentât significant on their own right but still. 14k is 10% of lifetime xbox one sales over there. ITs already on track to surpass original xbox sales.
Such a shame MS canât take advantage with more software though. Imagine 360 level support for JPN games. SEries consoles would sell even better.
I mean the support for the console in the he region itself is evident, I wouldnât be surprised if we see more Japanese publishers releasing games for it in the he future just based off itâs growing popularity.
That really puts into perspective how amazingly well theyâre doing there right now. Yes, not in comparison to the competition, but in comparison to themselves theyâre absolutely killing it.
This made me curious how theyâre doing in comparison to their Xbox and Xbox 360 sales, and per VGC these are their total sales for the previous generations:
Which means that 14,000 is about 3% of total Xbox sales, and just under 1% of total Xbox 360 sales. In two weeks. Pretty impressive.
Iâm also curious to see comparisons at this point in the timelines for each previous generation. At about 200,000 total for X|S itâs closing in on doubling the sales of the total for One, and I assume itâs also outpacing the OG, but Iâm not so sure about the 360.
Theyâll hit OG Xbox numbers with no problem
If they had Japanese support like that of the 360 days I could even see them surpassing the 360 too but as of now it will be a tough figure to beat
Yeah, thatâs why Iâd love to see numbers for how the 360 was doing at this point in its life. I tried poking around VG Charts, but Iâm currently on mobile and itâs a less than pleasant experience. Iâll try to remember to give it a look this afternoon when Iâm on desktop.
Does Japan like Bethesda games? Bethesda exclusives should be a big deal for every country.
