May Circana is coming out today, but it is running later than usual. It would normally have been released over an hour ago. Once the data is out I'll get the article posted on the report.

Feels like we are about to get another delay tweet from Mat...

BTW... can we all appreciate the work that we get from Famitsu on a WEEKLY basis.... with actual numbers.

They are putting the American firm to shame.

I really hope not as it is already so late. Though, they did delay June's report from July 24 to August 2.

I'm curious to see where Hellblade 2 lands in the US, with sales.
Like we heard it did really poorly in the EU.
Is the same true in the US? Or did it do better compairably there, because xbox is bigger in the US?

Not even in Xbox's Top 10 software ... It truly had the appearance of a ghost all along. Even PR wise, Xbox hasn't spoke of the game since it's launch ...

Anywoo, that console spending drop is certainly due to this year not having the release of Zelda TOTK.

Switch prolly paid the most from the drop(like 50%) while the PS5 did also experience a double digit drop. Xbox is the "lucky" here with a slight increase, though still behind the Switch in numbers.

Getting a lot of questions on this one... Senua's Saga: Hellblade II ranked 37th overall for May 2024 in US full game dollar sales (physical + digital for sharing pubs), while ranking 21st on Xbox Series.

I'd say my predictions were pretty good overall.
