PlayStation 5 was the top-selling gaming console in the U.S. during July 2022, as measured by dollars sold. It also still leads 2022 to date

If only supply could catch up. It'd be PS2 and PS4 (and PS1) dominance again.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
This is the third thread about the same thing in the last couple of hours, the search is probably broken

Without counting the units that the scalpers are selling doble the price...

Aren't they the only ones that actually make a profit on selling consoles?

They do get counted as they make up the initial sale, and in effect are pre-owned (never used) consoles sold on E-bay etc.

Do wonder why Sony are struggling with stock so much, although the first year of sales was not that far behind the PS4, pretty sure bots and scalpers are not helping the situation.

No since 2021 Sony makes a profit on the disc PS5 which is the vast majority of PS5s they choose to make since they are more profitable.

Yes of course, i meant not counting the resale in this new NPD dollar metric rank trend. It was badly accomplished joke
That would be Nintendo

Like I mentioned in another thread- when the series X is in stock in Australia you have ample time to purchase it. When the PS5 comes in stock in Australia you seriously have mere minutes to jump on and they’re gone. It’s crazy how fast the PS5 sells in Australia.

You can walk down to any JB and order one right now for every shipment coming in within a 2/3 week window.
Dollars sold? We’re about units thanks.

The bear of bad news
What sucks about this is as soon as stock improves PS5 will be old and Switch 2 will be out.
I really feel like Covid was designed to fuck Sony in every way imaginable this gen.

Spot on. Yet when they appear on Big W or EB sites and the like, they're on there for a minute or 2 then they're gone.

That’s a really fancy way of saying Switch makes more money.

Yeah, how is PS5 leading 2022? Last we heard, it was 3rd ytd in the US.

The Xbox One has never been leading anything. But maybe you talk about the Xbox Series ?
YTD PS5 took over in July as per recent NPD data.

So PS5 wiped out xboxs lead in just 1 month?

I agree that sounds weird, stock must have been very big in July. ^^"
I think they were pretty close in th US throughout this year but I could be wrong.
Slicker than your average

Xbox was selling more units per month the last 3 months not more units total.
Just another useless metric bragged by ms

- June Revenue: PS5, Switch, XBS
- June Unit: Switch, PS5, XBS
- YTD Revenue: PS5, XBS, Switch
- YTD Units: Switch, XBS, PS5

This is from June, is it now ahead in units over Xbox YTD?

Year to date it is:
Units
1. Switch
2. Xbox Series
3. PS5
Revenue
1. PS5
2. Xbox Series
3. Switch
PS5 was behind Xbox Series in revenue, but overtook it in June 2022 and stayed ahead of it in July. The July figures haven't changed the rankings at all.

Not sure where they got this part from, they linked to the above Tweet in the article:
Despite component shortages, the PS5 is still the best-selling console in the US for 2022.

The blog isn't saying anything different to me. Am I missing something?

Define “lead”
People gotta learn to see through garbage corpo “speak” these companies do. Video games sales around the board have been severely down this year. Hardware has been bad due to supply shortages and software sales have been down due no big AAA games (since Feb) and covid restrictions lifting.
There was never a huge gap in sales, its just that Sonys productions issues in the first half of the year has been atrocious, now that they are improving it was easy for them to start outselling the other two consoles that are primarily ‘winning’ with 300 dollar consoles

Great looking to get one later this year actually, hopefully I can get £175 for my Pro.
No, consoles are measured by units, not revenue
The example of a blog that uses the title to confuse its reader base.... Then the text does not say the same thing and it is just like the answer you answered.
Units:
1-Switch
2-X Series
3-PS5
Dollars:
1-PS5
2-X Series
3-Switch

They are measured in both by NPD but that article says PS5 is ahead with units YTD, and that isn't true, Switch is.
We don't know about units yet for YTD, but we do know Switch is still leading in it, not sure if PS5 is now tracking ahead of Xbox, I don't think Mat has said yet.

No, that's not how it works. All consoles were very close to each other.
