PS5 Best-Selling US Console 2022

PS5 is Still the Best Selling US Console of 2022 According to NPD

Despite component shortages, the PS5 is still the best-selling console in the US for 2022. The console was also the best-selling console in the US for July through dollar sales and took the number two slot behind the Nintendo Switch in terms of units sold. Sony also had a fair amount of success through game sales and accessories.

While it may not have sold the most units, the PS5 was the best-selling console in the US in terms of dollar sales for July 2022 according to NPD. The console’s dollar sales also “experienced double-digit percentage growth” compared to this time last year, so Sony’s commitment to significantly “ramp-up” console production to increase PS5 stock seems to be coming to fruition. Meanwhile, the PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller Midnight Black was the month’s best-selling accessory despite a large drop in spending on video game accessories, largely driven by a decline in gamepad spending.

The increase in console sales likely accounts for the four PlayStation Studios games that are part of the top-selling PlayStation games for the month. With Horizon Forbidden West being included in a popular PS5 bundle across the world, it’s no wonder the game hit the #6 spot. Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales, another game that is packaged in with PS5 bundles quite frequently, climbed back into the top ten too. MLB The Show 22 and Gran Turismo 7 are the remaining two games. The 10 top-selling PlayStation games in the US for the month of July 2022 are as follows:

  1. Elden Ring
  2. MLB The Show 22
  3. MultiVersus
  4. Call of Duty: Vanguard
  5. Minecraft
  6. Horizon Forbidden West
  7. F1 22
  8. Gran Turismo 7
  9. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
  10. Marvel’s Spider Man: Miles Morales
