USA charts: the total switch exceeds that of the PS4
The results of the American market for the month of April have just arrived with their share of lessons and statistics as usual. The shortages of the new generation consoles always prevent the market from doing as well as last year, spending at this stage of the year (18.3 billion dollars) therefore decreased 8% compared to the first four months of 2021. Nothing worrying, because the figures remain above what they were before the start of the pandemic in 2020.
And we can start by emphasizing the new level crossed by the Switch. If it will still take one or two quarters to the Nintendo console to exceed the total of PS4 sold in the world, this little feat is already validated in the United States. Failing to know the exact park of these consoles in the United States, Nintendo announced that it had distributed 42 million Switch on the entire American continent on March 31, 2022. Passing the PS4, the Switch is getting closer to the top 5 consoles The best-selling in history across the Atlantic. It is still preceded by the DS, the Game Boy, the PS2, the Xbox 360 and the Wii.
The best-selling console in April, the Switch also remains number 1 in the year 2022 despite a considerable event: the return to business of the PlayStation 5. For the first time since January, it finishes number 1 of the month In dollars in front of the Xbox Series and the Switch. The improvement of the Sony console stocks has therefore been well verified all over the world last month, which goes in the direction of the objectives displayed by the manufacturer this week: distribute 18 million PS5 in the world today March 2023 (against only 11.5 million for the previous fiscal year).
Of the 3.2 million LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker saga sold worldwide in the space of two weeks, a good part made the happiness of the United States, as evidenced by the position occupied by TT game Games in the classification of the month but especially of the year. Efficient on all platforms, including Switch, Lego game is not surprising as the best start in the history of the franchise is is only preceded by the Elden Ring phenomenon when you have the total sales since january.
The madness Elden Ring continues
We must once again talk about the Elden Ring case, because the latter is now the best -selling game of the last 12 months in the USA, which means that he has surpassed Call of Duty: Vanguard while being out later. The feat is historic for Fromsoftware and Bandai Namco, this place being normally granted only to the Call of Duty or to the big rockstar games as Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The rest of the classification highlights the solidity of the PlayStation Studios games that are Horizon Zero Dawn, Gran Turismo 7 and of course the Little Local Darling, MLB The Show 22, now available on Xbox and Switch (more by the will of the MLB that of Sony, of course). Of course, the most present publisher remains Nintendo, whose good start of Nintendo Switch Sports is added to the very good second month of Kirby and the forgotten world. And again, the representation of Nintendo (7 games out of 20) remains penalized by the absence of sales made on the eshop.
