PlayStation 5 continued to lead the 2023 hardware market across both units and dollars. Year-to-date hardware spending was 13% higher when compared to the same period in 2022, at $3.2 billion.

PlayStation 5 was the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales during August 2023, with Xbox Series ranking 2nd across both measures.

Video game hardware spending fell 13% when compared to a year ago, to $328 million. PlayStation 5 dollar sales fell by a single-digit percentage in the month when compared to a year ago, while both Switch and Xbox Series declined by a double-digit percentage.

PS5 dollar sales were down by a single digit percentage in august compared to a year ago, But its unit sales were up

Where as xbox and Switch are down in both dollar and unit sales compared to a year ago.

Confirmed by Mat piscatella on twitter. 

This is correct.  This is due to the $50 sales that was in effect for part of the month of August.
