Information from: European video game sales dip by over 7% in January | European Monthly Charts | GamesIndustry.biz
This months report isn't giving any YoY %'s or even telling us the order. PS5 is obviously going to be 1st, the question is if the "sharp decline" of the Switch was enough to put it below Xbox but considering how dire Xbox sales are in mainland Europe I would say Switch is most likely second still.
Hardware
- Nearly 475,000 units sold 1.4% less than last year.
- Strong sales of PS5 offset by declines of other consoles. Only console not to decline YoY
- Sharp decline in Nintendo Switch sales YoY
- A slight dip in Xbox Series S and X sales YoY
(Console hardware sales cover Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.)
Software
- 12.14m games sold, 7.3% less than last year.
- EA Sports FC 24 was comfortably the No.1 game. Almost Identical to Fifa 23 sales last year
- Tekken 8 debuts 7th, 80% higher sales than SF6 debut week.
Very disappointing to not get any percentages for console hardware this month.
