However, compared with March, only Nintendo Switch sales increased month-on-month. This was in part due to the release of a special edition console, which arrived at the end of the month ahead of the new Zelda game: Tears of the Kingdom.

 

[SBoy11]

So:
PS5 ≈ 483k
Switch ≈ 360k
Xbox ≈ 96k

Last month was 570k total consoles sold, and this month doesn't seem to be much better, if at all. Your total is almost a million, so it can't be right.

Interesting that it's the Last of Us Part 2 and not the more recent Part 1 that's maintaining such a hold. I think besides Part 1 obviously being available only on PS5, people are probably more interested in seeing what happens after season one of the TV show ended.

It's the price point. One is close to $70, the other is $10 to $20

That's a good point as well, assuming these charts are unit-based and not revenue based like Circana.

At least Xbox is up YoY in Europe in April unlike in the US.

 

[Bodokoh]

TLOU part 2 price in april
France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and etc -€9.99
UK - £8.74

Its unit based

So:
PS5 ≈ 483k
Switch ≈ 360k
Xbox ≈ 96k

How are you calculating these?

 

[fiendcode]

Price will be interesting to watch when TLOUP2 gets a PS5 remaster.

 

[MegaXZero]

So:
PS5 ≈ 483k
Switch ≈ 360k
Xbox ≈ 96k

I think this is a bit off.

We don’t have a hardware total this month…but we have it for last year. Assuming other consoles are negligible:

289000*1.58=P+S+X,
289000=P/2.44+S/1.38+X/1.19,
P>S>X>0

Using that and the percent change given this year, we get a range of 173k-183k for PS5, 173k-137k for switch, and 110k-137k for XBS. (Switch is inversely proportional to PS5 in the range)

If I made a mistake feel free to correct me.

Are these Vgchartz numbers?

 

[Aostia82]

I wasn't expecting ZOLED to be so impactful
probably Mario movie contributed too, right? but in the US I think we know (as for Spain or Japan) that ZOLED has actually been the hot item once released late in April

UK and US as well. It was confirmed so by Dring and Mat.

Reported Europe console totals don’t include UK.

Console hardware sales cover Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Accessories sales cover the same markets, but doesn't include Switzerland.

I’m not sure I’d say Xbox sales are high, it’s still being outsold by both of its competition by a decent amount.
