PlayStation 5 accounted for 51 percent of all console sales in the UK over the past six months.
Sony’s latest console held a 43 percent share on all console sales between November 2022 and October 2023, according to UK chart firm GfK (via Eurogamer’s sister site GamesIndustry.biz). But hone in on the last six months and the PS5’s sales account for just over 50 percent of all console purchases since May.
GfK games boss Dorian Bloch said these figures are a result of various price promotions held over the summer months, the console’s recent EA Sports FC bundle and, of course, “unrestricted sales” on the standard PlayStation 5 model. Unlike previous years, there are currently no supply and stock shortages for Sony’s PS5 console here in the UK.
