Console hardware sales were down 22 per cent year-over-year in July 2019, as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continue to grow a little long in the tooth. Sony’s pricing stubbornness has allowed the Nintendo Switch to comfortably top the console charts, which is the only system to experience growth so far this year.
It wasn’t a particularly remarkable month for the PS4 in terms of software either, with Madden NFL 20 topping the charts and Marvel’s Spider-Man continuing to stick around. Other than that, the basic black DualShock 4 remains the best-selling accessory of the year, and well that’s your lot. New systems will spice things up next year, but expect a quiet 12 months ahead.

Nintendo dominating across the pond
It's too bad Nintendo doesn't let NPD factor in digital sales. Digital sales for Awakening were pretty robust, and the digital slice of the Three Houses pie is likely significantly larger in 2019, especially when the voucher program comes into play (which is how I obtained my own digital copy of the game).
All hail Minecraft and GTA V eh. Still going for it!

Seems pretty good to me.
Ninty games did so well in August because everything else did bad, but over the year, almost all of the top 10 games were also on ps4 and most likely sold the best there.
@Kidfried They're doing fine, it's just the fact that the system is six years old now. A price drop would increase hardware sales, but they seem to be more focused on profitability.
lol Madden NFL 20 is top.. it is medicore game ever i played.. Franchise Mode suck
Ive played every game on that best seller list of 2019 - except for WMASH and MK11 (Don't really care for fighting games)
For being a "disappointment" Days Gone sure has done well for itself 👍
@Kidfried
PlayStation has two exclusives in the top 10, so they can’t be doing that bad.
