Sony may well be struggling to meet demand for the PlayStation 5, but this didn?t stop the console from topping the UK sales charts last month. According to Games Industry, the new console beat both the Xbox Series X and the Nintendo Switch.
In total, 900,000 consoles were sold in the UK between November 1 and November 28. The majority were PlayStation 5 consoles. This meant Nintendo Switch settled for the runner-up spot for only the third time in the last two years. Such high sales numbers are really to be expected for a month in which two new consoles are launched. November 2020 was a more successful month than November 2013 for revenue generated by console sales; the latter was when the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both launched, of course.
