UK: PS5 is currently No.1 console for 2024 with Xbox Series X|S 2nd and Switch 3rd

Controllers for the latest gaming consoles

New sales data provided by Games Industry has revealed the state of the console market this year in the largest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom. The best-selling platform so far is the PlayStation 5 which is followed by Xbox Series X|S with the Nintendo Switch in third. It was inevitable that Switch sales would eventually falter this year with a successor to the popular console on the near horizon. It will be interesting to see whether anything substantial changes with Black Friday and the sales kick in before the immensely busy Christmas period.

“PS5 was comfortably the top-selling console once again, well ahead of second place Xbox Series S and X. Nintendo Switch is No.3 again, and has now slipped to No.3 for the year.”

  1. Tentri (going clinically insane waiting for a switch 2 teaser)

    this is a truly a NINTENDO HAS FORGOT ABOUT MARIO moment

  2. Well at this point, everyone that wanted a Switch has a Switch. And those that want a new Switch are just waiting for the next platform.

    1. ironic with that raven profile pic, can’t wait to see how out of touch playstation is going to be when they release that live action gravity rush movie

  3. Good thing PS5 isn’t backwards compatible and can’t play the entire PS4 library of games, welp guess ill go play Palworld.

  4. pretty crazy when i think about it…. i mean i have a ps5 but it took a looooong time to get one due to availability. the whole xbox thing is a little confusing to me. series X/S? is this two consoles making up one sales figure? Either way whats crazy is i own three switch consoles myself and there are four in the family. OG Switch, OLED switch, and two lites. I doubt many people own more than one PS5 for themselves. I could see a house of four roommates and everyone has there own, but it makes me wonder how much of these sales are due to scalper and resellers. How many consoles are purchased and never used, just sitting on a shelf, in a room, waiting to be sold… again.
