This is august. I think he is probably referring to some preliminary data for the first week of September that he has. I don't think we get weekly data from UK and I'm not sure that this " jump" in sales is not going to equalize itself in the next 3 weeks, so who know if we would ever testify this increase ? We' ll see
Oh yeah, I just saw the new numbers. 76% seems good until you realize it's had double digit declines almost every month this year.

Based on last month's figures, this gives a weekly average of :

~20.5k for the PS5
~6.9k for the Switch
~6.1k for Xbox

+76% for the week ending September 2, that's give us ~10.7k for XSX+S

Well, these are just estimates, but it's still better than nothing.

Sales actually went up 7% . So yeah he does think it's a strong jump, just like he thinks Starfield is the biggest game of the year. If 7% is big to him, I wonder what 42% would be,


That was last month (August)... in the other twitter he is talking about a jump this first week when Starfield launched.
The article will be up tomorrow.
But for now he doesn't give any more info.

Starfield is indeed a console seller. stay 🧂

We have sales trends for the past few months from the UK that show the xbox at the low 20ks. Can someone do the math of a 74 percent increase for a week? Like we're talking 7-8k for the week. Thats horrendous.

26k for the previous month.

So thats 6.5K a week.

This week theres been a jump of 76% so 4.9K more consoles have been sold this week.

11.4K consoles sold this week.

A jump of basically 5 thousand for the week.

Sony is doing 80K a month currently before Spiderman 2 even arrives.

Xbox is doing 40K even if this jump maintains with Starfield.

Yep still being outsold 2 to 1 for this week.

Can it maintain it for the month? Doubt it.

Spiderman 2 is also around the corner.
Horrendous. Whats the average concurrent user on steam now that the weekends over?
