The classic consoles cost the same as a current gen game (or the bonus edition one).  Nothing to gleam from that outside they are a good value for their price.

It's almost as if great exclusives would sell consoles. Congrats to Nintendo!

Name me one reason why X1 should've sold more than PS4 that month.

Octopath Traveller deserves every bit of success it gets! Such a wonderful game!

Says its physical only chart, but not Switch only. The only games that are physical only are Switch tho, but I think they’re still saying those were the 3 highest selling physical games in July, excluding digital of other titles of course.

Who knows, maybe Octopath still won July in digital + physical, but it won’t be tracked by NPD sadly so we won’t know.

We told y'all there was a drought. Console just got the maybe the best July of the generation at full price without any huge releases. It will roll on everything with pokemon/smash/mario Party.

Good for Zelda, that's what she deserves.

It's clearly falling upwards ^^

So yeah, the Switch is starting to show strength in sales, even with less interesting software than the year before, all the while the PS4 has to with certain releases to keep up.

Switch is killing it.

3ds still selling okay after so long. And those mini-consoles! It's ridiculous how much hardware Nintendo is moving.

Don't get too cocky you bastards.

Those retro consoles are cheaper than the bigger counterparts so they have that going for them.

Go go Switch! Very happy about Octopath, and surprised that it actually did boost hardware.

I think you would suspect that against a successful system in year two vs one that is in year five.  Sony will take losing the slowest month of the year while still selling 70% of what the winning console did.
