FIFA 23, EA\u2019s latest entry in the long-running franchise ended the month of September with overall sales 6% higher than the previous entry, FIFA 22. After FIFA 23 at the top of the chart, there is a large gap before reaching the rest of the entries. Despite FIFA\u2019s stellar performance the rest of the market is down compared to September 2021. <\/p>\n
Game sales totaled 14.4 million, including physical and digital sales, a 10% drop from the previous September. Breaking this figure down does not make the decrease any easier as digital sales were 8.57 million, a decrease of 13.8% and physical sales were 5.82 million, a decline of 3.7%. <\/p>\n
Coming in second place was the typically American-centric NBA 2K23 as basketball continues to grow in popularity. NBA 2K23 ended the month up 10.5% from the first month\u2019s sales of NBA 2K22. Also placed in the top 3 is Splatoon 3, continuing a stellar run for Nintendo this month. <\/p>\n
Most of the list is comprised of titles that have been selling well all year, such as Bandai Namco\u2019s Elden Ring and Rockstar\u2019s Grand Theft Auto 5\/Red Dead Redemption 2 pairing which have been in the top 20 sales since release. Recent releases including The Last of Us: Part 1, a PS5 exclusive, and the Saints Row remake by Deep Silver placed in the top 10 but represent a sharp decline from the Switch-heavy September 2021 top 10. <\/p>\n
The overall negative performance is not confined just to sales of new games, new consoles were down 20% compared to this time last year. Gaming accessories were not spared from the market downturn with a year-over-year decline of 7%, selling 1.44 million during September. Compared to August, 1.44 million represents a gain of 22%. <\/p>\n
Nintendo Switch was the top-selling console with 394,000 units sold across Europe. Sales of the Switch console were up 11% from August, likely given a boost by the popularity of Switch-exclusive Splatoon 3. PS5 and Xbox also performed well, with the former up 28% from August while Xbox saw the largest rise by selling almost 100% more consoles compared to August. <\/p>\n
The top accessory for the month was again the PS5 Dualsense controller with the PS4 Dualsense in second place. The best non-controller was the PS5 Pulse 3D Headset in 5th place. Points cards were up compared to August by 8.5% but continued the trend of being down compared to the previous September with a 6.1% decrease. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
