Here's an article about the official release.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in the article, but here is a table breaking down the revenue numbers.
| June 2020 Dollar Sales, Millions | Jun’19 | Jun’20 | CHG |
| Total Video Game Sales | $934 | $1,178 | 26% |
| Video Game Hardware | $231 | $191 | -17% |
| Video Game Software (Physical and Full Game Digital Formats from the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation, STEAM and Xbox platforms for DLP Participants) | $382 | $570 | 49% |
| Video Game Accessories & Game Cards | $322 | $417 | 29% |
To contrast here are the May 2020 NPD numbers.
| May 2020 Dollar Sales, Millions | May ’19 | May ’20 | CHG |
| Total Video Game Sales | $642 | $977 | 52% |
| Video Game Hardware | $150 | $235 | 56% |
| Video Game Software (Physical and Full Game Digital Formats from the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation, STEAM and Xbox platforms for DLP Participants) | $262 | $438 | 67% |
| Video Game Accessories & Game Cards | $230 | $304 | 32% |
Not only are hardware numbers down YoY, but they are also down compared to last month. Meanwhile software is noticably up. I'd imagine TLOU2 contributed a fair amount to the software numbers.
