These resetera xbros man, hope springs eternal for them:
Xbox only being down 18% year to date from last year. July and CF25 might push it to growth in the states.

Technical correct is the best kind of correct. It looks much better than the previous awful months, its true.
And it's also truethat on Amazon we saw some crazy increases for consoles to play CF25 in the US.
It's a bonafide console mover in the US. Really curious for the July data where we'll know just how huge the launch was.
Dragons Dogma 2 still hanging around good to see.
Really weak legs due to the reception, but I guess it sold enough in its release month to stay relatively high on YTD list.
I was checking the reeee thread and man some steam fanboys are mad cuz ps5 is the lead platform for sf6 and smtv
The percentage lead that PS has over PC in certain genres like JRPGs/Fighting games have been shrinking progressively in the last like 5+ years(in general), but not enough that PC would be the lead platform in the US. There's a thing called nuance. Even for Capcom, which has gain a shitload of ground on PC from like 2018+ onwards, this is not the case.
Folks see the steam CCU number for SF6 but forget that this is China/Taiwan/Thailand/Singapore, etc... are all countries that have a PC slant and within the same daily CCU peak timezone as Japan.
You can't extrapolate those numbers to the US ones.
PC/Steam sales are not so simple you can't just be a passenger. Because there's so many regions that don't behave the same, and there's a bunch more different genres, you gotta go from a case by case basis as to where something is selling and for how much.
A lot of folks in the resetera thread are not really sales followers but rather SF6 fans( I see them in the SF6 OT) that love that the game is doing as well as it is, especially in Japan. The only data they see for the game doing well is the CCU steam numbers, but they don't understand the full picture.

Make main takeaways from this report.
-Elden Ring at #1 is no surprise, but holy heck from #20 to #5 on the YTD list. Lots of new tarnished ones.
-Sea of Thieves port keeps on doing well.
-Helldivers 2's gravy train finally ended in June.
