Sony’s fiscal results have left us with worrying data for its new generation machine. Although it has already distributed 19.3 million consoles worldwidePlayStation 5 has fallen well below forecasts for the first quarter of 2022 due to lack of stock, something that seems to be mitigating now.

As always, Games Industry provides us with data regarding the British video game market, a very representative and useful one to read the operation of the industry at a Western level. In the case of the United Kingdom, PS5 has signed in April the best month of 2022 in commercial terms.

The second machine that has sold the most during April is Nintendo Switch, although Nintendo has recorded a slight decline in sales compared to the previous month. Xbox Series X and Series S have gone from leading in March to third place, with a corresponding drop of 59%.
