Little by little we are approaching the first anniversary of the new generation consoles and we have more data on their commercial operation. And it is that now, thanks to the data offered by the industry analyst company NPD (via GamingBolt) we have learned that Xbox Series X | S outsold PlayStation 5 in the United States in June 2021. A fact to take into account, since the North American country is one of the most important markets in the world when it comes to video games, if not the most. However, the best-selling console of the month in that territory was Nintendo Switch, which continues to accumulate good figures.
The information from NPD clarifies that PlayStation 5 continues to have stock problems in the United States, which could have tipped the balance in favor of Xbox Series X | S. However, Microsoft machines do not yet have a stable stock, so the improvement in sales could be attributed to the good performance played during E3 2021. Speaking of raw figures, spending on entertainment hardware in the United States last June was 401 million dollars, a 112% more than in June 2020.
Xbox Series X | S exceeds four million units sold
The top video games in terms of sales last month in the United States were Ratchet & Clank: A Dimension Apart, Mario Golf: Super Rush and Scarlet Nexus, in that order. East good xbox data adds to that harvested a couple of weeks ago, when we learned that the commercial yield of Xbox in Japan it was living its best days since the days of Xbox 360, with more than 4,000 consoles sold in just one week.
