In addition, in the last six months, the console represented 51% of all console sales in the United Kingdom, which has always been a litmus test for European trends.\r\nA confirmation of the fact that, as reported some time ago, one in two consoles sold is a PlayStation 5, practically.\r\nDorian Bloch, head of the video game division at GfK, says that the highlights of the PlayStation 5 year were the aggressive price promotions in July and August and the bundle with EA Sports FC 24, which inevitably attracted consumers.\r\nAt the same time, sales of the Xbox family of consoles fell from 26% to 23% in market share, while overall the Switch fell from 34% to 25%.\r\nBut the Xbox Series it’s also taking revenge every now and then, because in the last week it managed to overtake PlayStation 5 in Japan.
