PS5 Best-Selling Console in the UK in August, Armored Core VI Debuts

The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console in the UK in August 2023, according to GfK Entertainment and reported by GamesIndustry. 

Sales for the PlayStation 5 are up 42 percent compared to July and up 60 percent year-to-date. The console has benefited from price promotions from Sony and retailers during summer.

The Xbox Series X|S was the third best-selling console in August as sales increased seven percent month-on-month, however, sales are down nearly 23 percent year-to-date.

Overall, over 135,000 consoles were sold in August, which is up 22 percent compared to July and up eight percent year-on-year.

GSD data shows that 1.75 million physical and digital games were sold in the UK in August, which is down 2.2 percent year-on-year.

FIFA 23 was the best-selling game in August, according to GSD Data. Sales for the game increased due to the Nintendo Switch version, which was discounted on the eShop.

It should be noted that Larian is one of the publishers missing from GSD data and it is likely Baldur's Gate 3 would have debuted in first place if those sales were included in the charts.

Thank you very much, @trunkswd!

Europe continues to produce very good numbers for the PS5, especially compared to PS4 in the same time in 2016.

The PS5 should possibly sit somewhere between 1.3mil to 1.5mil in worldwide sales for August. And it has now already reached an astonishing 4:1 ratio compared to Xbox Series, increasing the 3.7:1 ratio from July.

And it is a safe bet PS5 is only going on to produce bigger numbers for the rest of 2023. Congrats.

PS5 is really ramping up (its peak will probably be 2024), and Switch continues to sell spectacularly considering its age and lack of price cuts (but there are bundles on the way).
Xbox is being beaten even by Switch in Europe and obviously Japan. Xbox still has a lot of time to sell if Microsoft sticks to a 2028 release date for the next-gen Xbox.
