Company NPD, which tracks the US gaming market, released a June 2023 report. Nintendo Switch again took first place in sales of consoles, for the 31st time in a row, but analysts called the star of the month Xbox Series X | S – a duo of new generation systems from Microsoft showed a sharp increase compared to May and for the first time took the top line of the ranking in terms of revenue from iron sales… This was facilitated by an increase in supplies.
“The demand is far from being satisfied, the supply situation remains very problematic,” said NPD spokesman Mat Piscatella.
The turnover from sales of console iron in dollar terms increased by the end of June 2023 by 112% compared to the same period a year earlier and reached $ 401 million. This is the best June in the US gaming market in 13 years. (since June 2008, when the turnover was $ 617 million).
