It was the best August tally since 2008, according to NPD, and the third-highest month ever. Sales could have been even higher if not for the chip shortages weighing on console production, said Mat Piscatella, an analyst at NPD.\nConsumers purchased more of Nintendo Co.’s Switch than any other hardware platform in August. The Switch has also sold the most units among competitors so far this year. But PlayStation 5 generated the most revenue, and 10 months after it hit the market remains the fastest-selling PlayStation platform in history. Sony has said it expects to sell more than 14.8 million PlayStation 5 units this fiscal year.\nThe best-selling game in August was Electronic Arts Inc.’s Madden NFL 22, followed by Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima, which jumped from number 110 in July after the release of a Director’s Cut for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Total video game sales rose 7% in August to $4.37 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":107,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
