Good month for the Switch 2. I would say that next month would be worse for it due to the price going up at the start of September but it seems it did really well in the UK that month. Good month for the PS5 as well being notably up compared to the PS4 so GTA 6 is already doing something for it. In better circumstances it would be about to have an amazing 2nd half of the year. Xbox Series on the other hand is just about finished while the Switch 1 hits another low.

The UK month included August's last week, which was the very last chance to get a Switch 2 before the pricehike. But if I'm not mistaken, the price increase in the UK and Europe are the smallest when compared to other markets, so the negative impact may not be nearly as bad as it was in Japan.

Yeah the increase was smallest over here which is why I don't think the last week of August being included changes things that much since it was still up 70% compared to the previous few week tracking period. The impact on the US should be at least a tad higher compared to Europe.
