Hardware sales for the week remain lacklustre as most consoles are down week-on-week. The PlayStation 5 consoles and Xbox Series X have noted sharp falls in units sold, particularly Series X. The console has reported a 95.76% drop in sales from previous week’s 2,881 units to only 151 units. However, its counterpart, the Series S have climbed 60.99% as units sold near the 4,000 mark. Others that have risen for the week would be the small increase of Switch OLED to 34,892 units from the 34,199 units sold the week before while PlayStation 4 sold 2 units more to close at 14 units.
