Today, the NPD officially released the monthly data of North American game sales in April 2016.It can be seen from the data that compared with the same period last year, the entire gaming industry has a decline, and this is particularly obvious in terms of hardware sales.In addition, Sony has confirmed that PS4 is still the best game console.

In April 2016, compared with the same period last year, the total sales of game hardware, physical games and other accessories fell by 15%(from US $ 598.1 million to $ 509.5 million).Among them, the sales of game hardware fell by 23%(from US $ 183.7 billion to $ 142.1 billion).

The continuous decline in game hardware sales cannot be simply attributed to the decline of previous generations like Xbox 360 and PS3.Because the total sales of game consoles decreased by 19 percentage points year -on -year, the sales of the next generation of hosts fell by 15 percentage points.Perhaps the increase in discount activities and the continuous rumors about the upgraded version of PS4 and Xbox One are part of this phenomenon.

PS4.5, which has not been officially confirmed by Sony

NPD analyst Liam Callahan wrote in the report: "Although the sales of game consoles have declined small, they must know: Compared with the previous generation of the same series, Xbox One and PS4 were in the 30 months after the official launch of the official launch.The sales volume is more than 40%higher.

In addition, it is very confusing that none of the three major game console manufacturers, Sony, Microsoft and Renno, have obvious advantages in sales.However, although the sales report of the NPD is not clear, Sony has confirmed that PS4 is still the best game console sold in April 2016.

Another point of not to be noted is that the Xbox One host is performing discount activities throughout April, which is likely to lower the sales of the Xbox One host.After the NPD report was released, Microsoft did not claim the specific sales of their game consoles, and Nintendo put the focus of the comments on the performance of its game software.
