PS5 Continues to Dominate a Slow UK Games Industry in July

GTA IV is crazy! It’s almost like it ships with every console sold.

Why don’t we get actually numbers of each console sold. Is it a secret in the UK.

@OldGamer999 The companies that track this data share it with the industry and some press under tight control, it’s up to companies to make that sales data public. This is how it has always been.

Effectively they charge for that data, that’s why they don’t give it away.

Platform holders also don’t want to tell us how many copies of games are sold on their storefronts so that’s another thibg

Instead we get vague insights like percentages but no actual figures

@OldGamer999 there are other websites that track this data.

@LowDefAl
Interesting and thank you.
Always makes me suspicious when actual numbers are not given.
They should give them out, all seems about uptightness and money to me.
An industry of intrigue and suspicion to me 🤣

I’d be far more interested to know software attachment rates for this generation than hardware sold. (The number of games bought per system sold).

I’d imagine it would be a lot higher on PlayStation than Xbox due to gamepass. But would also be interested to see how it compares with last generation given how popular some of todays f2p titles are.

Just proves ***** sells, only game in that list any good is luigi's mansion HD.

@Axelay71 Like... I'm a shameless Nintendo fan, but claiming Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't any good is wild.

@Ralizah each to there own I guess, personally I don't like openworld, soulslike games. Even though I get smashed for it on most forums. It works both ways. I like "Linear" games unfortunately I dirty word in today's industry.

Slowly saying goodbye to my Xbox. I did have a PS4 but didn't go for a PS5 as it became the console of remakes. I decided to pony the money to build a PC as steams got games consoles just hasn't got, shame I grew up on consoles but the way Microsoft and Sony have been, SBI for one. Microsoft buying studio's, making them make games they don't want and because of poor performance shutting said studio down and Sony forcing gamers to get PSN and never making a remake of Bloodborne or Bloodborne 2 even though there's massive requests from gamers for example. Personally if I was to buy any console it'd be Nintendo as they seem to be the only ones that wanna make games (I'm aware they've also had their greedy issues, lesser of 3 evils).
That's my opinion and no hate to anyone who disagrees, no hate to anyone with a different of opinion just my take
