The latest European video game software sales have come through and it saw 12.14 million video games sold across European markets. The best-selling video game hardware was Sony’s PlayStation 5 and sales of the Nintendo Switch family of systems were in “sharp decline,” though a successor is thought to be on the near-horizon. The best-selling video game was EA Sports FC 24. Here’s the best-selling software across Europe for the month of January.
Over in the world of console hardware, across tracked European markets, console sales reached nearly 475,000 units over January, a slight dip of 1.4% over the year before (the data does not cover UK or Germany). Strong sales of PS5 (which was still suffering stock shortages across Europe a year ago), was offset by a sharp decline in Nintendo Switch sales. Nintendo Switch is approaching its seventh anniversary, and a successor console is expected to arrive this year. There was also a slight dip in Xbox Series S and X sales.

I mean… it’s Europe. And it’s a system that’s approaching it’s 9th year. AND it’s the month after Christmas.
the switch was released in 2015? gosh…..
Wow! What an embarrassing post. You failed at basic maths.
7 years, his point still stands. The switch is on its way out, it’s the month after Christmas, and EU eats up their Sony boxes.
If I was embarrassed about typos, I’d thrown away my computer over a decade ago. In fact, it usually feels good when I read comment correcting a typo because that means they got nothing else on me :)
