UK Charts: Suicide Squad Kills The Competition Despite Mixed Reception
While Like A Dragon's wealth tumbles
www.nintendolife.com
In the UK this week, two new releases took the top 2 spots in the charts, with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League coming in at number 1, and Persona 3 Reload taking the silver medal. Suicide Squad's triumph might be somewhat surprising given the relatively mixed critical reception, but nevertheless, it's a big win here for Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Games
Elsewhere, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth has tumbled from number 2 down to number 28. There's no doubt that the franchise has somewhat of a niche audience here in the UK, but that fall definitely hurts to see.

Console sales fall due to tough year-on-year comparisons
Nearly 111,000 games consoles were sold in January in the UK, GfK panel data shows.
This is a drop of 19% over last January, with all three main console platforms posting a drop in sales year-on-year. Xbox Series S and X sales were down 7%, PS5 sales were down 17% while Nintendo Switch sales were down 31%.
This year was always going to look tough in terms of comparisons, because last year saw PS5 and Xbox Series S and X become fully available in stores after a period of shortages, which caused a spike in numbers throughout last year. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch is now approaching its seventh anniversary, which is around the time we'd typically hear about a replacement...
In terms of accessories, 687,000 peripherals and add-on products were sold in January (GfK data), which is a rise of nearly 10% over the year before. The market was led by controllers for both Xbox and PlayStation consoles, potentially due to the number of hardware sold over the Christmas period.
2.47 million games were sold in January in the UK, a drop of 3% over the same period last year.
This is based on GSD data, which tracks all physical game sales, and all digital sales from most major third-party publishers.
The sales were led by EA Sports FC 24. EA's previous football game, FIFA 23, also led the charts in January 2023, and EA Sports FC 24 actually had a better January than its predecessor.
Last year there wasn't a huge number of new releases (Dead Space Remake was the highest charting new release at No.4). However, there were a couple of new titles this time around.
The highest charting new release, at No.2, was The Last of Us Part 2: Remastered, which did very well and benefitted from a £10 upgrade offer (owners of the PS4 version could get the PS5 version for £10).
For its opening two weeks on the market, the game sold two and a half times more copies than The Last of Us Part 1, which launched in September 2022.
Also new in the charts is Tekken 8, which makes No.7. The data doesn't stretch back far enough to compare it to Tekken 7, but compared to last year's Street Fighter 6, Tekken's launch is over a third higher. Interestingly, the vast majority of Street Fighter 6's sales came via digital channels, whereas Tekken 8 still has a strong audience that prefers physical (at least by comparison).

Microsoft to completely stop Xbox Series production for the quarter and Sony to halve production after lower-than-expected sales during Christmas
That's what businesstoday is claiming based on information from suppliers.
Machine translation:
Not only laptops, but also consumer electronics, the demand is extremely bleak. It is understood that the two major game console manufacturers, Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox, both faced the challenge of lower-than-expected sales and excessive inventory during the Christmas season last year. In order to clear inventory, Sony has notified its supply chain, including assembly plant Hon Hai, and power supply manufacturers Delta Electronics and Lite-On, that PlayStation orders will be cut in half in the first quarter of this year, from about one million units per month. , lowered to 500,000 units, and Microsoft also informed assembly plants Pegatron and Hon Hai, and power supply manufacturers Qundian and Lite-On that "Xbox production will be completely suspended in the first quarter."

Kadokawa Gaming Q3 Earnings Results (Oct - Dec 2023): Net Sales down, Operating profit up | "AC6 has contributed beyond expectations"
Wait, they only use those two to produce Xbox’s or is that just those two? I feel like that isn’t the whole story of what they may know. One is Sony saying to cut half, whilst the other is saying only two will shut down as noted by said producersMicrosoft to completely stop Xbox Series production for the quarter and Sony to halve production after lower-than-expected sales during Christmas

Ps5 up in Europe, everything else down
Over in the world of console hardware, across tracked European markets, console sales reached nearly 475,000 units over January, a slight dip of 1.4% over the year before (the data does not cover UK or Germany). Strong sales of PS5 (which was still suffering stock shortages across Europe a year ago), was offset by a sharp decline in Nintendo Switch sales. Nintendo Switch is approaching its seventh anniversary, and a successor console is expected to arrive this year. There was also a slight dip in Xbox Series S and X sales

So around 2:1 like last gen.
