Nintendo Switch overtook PS5 in May to become Europe's No.1 console once again, driven by the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Switch sales across Europe are up over 39% compared with May last year. PS5 had to settle for No.2, but it remains a strong force across Europe, and sales for PS5 are up 81% compared with May 2022.


Xbox Series S and X are in third position, with sales down 16% over May last year.


Overall, 429,000 games consoles were sold across tracked European markets last year, that's a rise of 40% over the year before (notable missing countries include Germany and UK, for UK hardware data, click here).

Wow so Nintendos Q1 will be up over last year by more than I expected. Nice job TotK.
 
Blows my mind how TOTK can push an old console like this. It's also pushing BOTW and various merchandise like amibos and those DLC stickers. It's generating a lot of business for Nintendo.
 
Absolute insane feat for a 6 year old system. Congrats to Nintendo for sticking to their vision and making sure Zelda was as good as it could be, and being rewarded for it.
