Mat Piscatella, executive director and analyst at Circana (aka NPD), has revealed that the PS5 topped the US hardware chart for September 2023, coming in first place for both unit and dollar sales ahead of the Xbox Series X/S.
Not only did the PS5 perform well, but Piscatella noted that the DualSense controller was the best-selling accessory of the month — specifically the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition variation.
PlayStation 5 remained the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales during September 2023, with Xbox Series again ranking 2nd across both measures. The PS5 Dual Sense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition was the best-selling accessory of the month in consumer spending.
Sony recently announced that it will be releasing a new, slimmer PS5 model for both the standard and digital editions of the console. The latter will also have the option of attaching an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, which will be sold separately. Once stock of the current PS5 models are depleted, this new version will replace the original launch version.
