After a pretty poor first half of the year nice to see a great month for the Xbox Series with it being up nearly 20% YoY and up compared to the same month for the Xbox One significantly. It's probably gonna be at least mostly back to normal for the next few months but it's still a positive sign. If a very American focused game like College Football 25 did this then it should get one hell of a spike the month GTA 6 comes out.
The PS5 had a good month but it's noteworthy that it seemed to benefit less from that game than the Xbox Series did and is still down significantly YoY and compared to the same month for the PS4. This is a bad sign for how it'll hold up the next couple months but it's still selling really well overall of course and Wukong should help it for August.
And the Switch held up better compared to the past few months due to the Mario film and TOTK boost wearing off by July but it still being down by nearly a full third shows again that the hardware really should get replaced soon.
