- The top-selling accessories were again the DualSense gamepads, with the white version in the first place and the black version in the second. The closest to them came a special edition of The Legend of Zelda-style Joy-Con: Skyward Sword HD for Nintendo Switch, which debuted at # 3 on the charts;
- Sales of games in June amounted to 2.09 million copies – 770 thousand of them in physical media and 1.32 million in digital. In general, this is 17.2% less than a year earlier;
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD turned out to be the main hit in retail, but since Nintendo does not share digital sales data, F1 2023 took the lead in the combined charts (digital + retail). However, none of them managed to beat last year’s July the result of Ghost of Tsushima;
