EMEEA charts February | PS5 best selling console - 3D World + Bowser's Fury best selling game - PC and console game sales up 68% from last year
PS5 was the top selling console of the month across tracked markets (France, Benelux, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Nordics, UK, Australia and New Zealand), ahead of Nintendo Switch by 12%. Overall, console unit sales are up 84% in February compared with the same period the year before with almost half a million machines sold. Nintendo Switch sales are up 32% compared with February 2020.
The accessories market (including toys-to-life) was up 12% over the same period last year in Euro spending, with 1.35 million accessories sold. Sony's PS5 DualSense controller was the most popular device, ahead of the DualShock 4 for PS4 in second place.
Digital download sales accounted for 9.4 million games sold, a rise of 24% over the year before. Physical games accounted for 5.25 million, which was 26% up year-on-year. The best-selling game by a long way was Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Nintendo does not share digital sales with GSD, and therefore it achieved this feat based on physical sales alone.
