    Analyst says Xbox and PlayStation sales hit new lows as US hardware market faces its most precarious position since the early 80s

    Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said Xbox and PS5 price hikes have hit sales hard, with US Xbox hardware units down 33% year on year and PlayStation hardware units down 25%, marking an all-time low for Xbox and PlayStation's lowest point since 2013. He said the average US price paid for a new Xbox console in 2026 year-to-date through August was $529, up 26% year on year, while the average PlayStation console sold for $597, up 20%, both all-time US highs. Piscatella said the US hardware market has not been in a more precarious position since the early 80s, and noted that GTA 6's launch next month might ease some of the declines, depending on pricing and product availability.

    Gears of War: E-Day sales: analysts unpack Game Pass impact

    Gears of War: E-Day launched this week, and a report from Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliott says it has sold about 230,000 copies so far, with 168,000 on Steam and 62,000 across Xbox console and PC. Elliott said Game Pass cannibalized most sales, with 1.7 million people acquiring the game through the subscription and 722,000 of them buying the $30 Premium upgrade. He said Xbox accounts for roughly $26 million of the $37 million in revenue, and called the $70 edition functionally dead on Xbox under day-one Game Pass.
