Mario Strikers was the best-selling boxed game of the month. The game may have charted higher, but Nintendo does not share digital sales with the charts company. It was a big launch for the new F1 game, with opening week sales up 23% compared with last year's F1 2021 (which launched in July).įIFA 22 holds second place, just ahead of another football game in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football.
The racing game was particularly popular in the UK and Germany. The No.1 game of June was EA's F1 2022, a feat it achieved after just one week on shelves. May was a particularly quiet month for new game releases. Overall this year, console sales are down 21% year-to-date, primarily due to significant shortages of the PlayStation 5.ġ2.8 million games were sold across European markets*, a rise of nearly 30% compared with the same period in 2021, and more than 52% up over May 2022.Ĥ.73 million of those games were physical boxed editions (up 24% year-on-year, and 36% up month-on-month), while 8.1 million were via digital download stores (up 33% year-on-year, and 65% month-on-month). The five-year-old console enjoyed a sales increase of 21% compared with May, and a nearly 35% increase over June last year. This is primarily due to a strong month for Nintendo Switch. However, compared with May 2022, sales are up 21.5%. This is due to continued shortages of PS5 and Xbox Series X. Just over 377,000 consoles were sold across tracked European markets* last month, which is 11% down compared with the same period last year. The games market across Europe enjoyed an improvement in sales during June, driven by Nintendo Switch, Mario Strikers and the new F1 game from EA.
