Console sales plummet as Xbox drops 33% and PS5 falls 25%

Original: Console market craters: Xbox sales drop 33%, PS5 sales drop 25%

Console hardware sales are falling sharply, with Xbox sales down 33 percent to their lowest level since the platform launched roughly 25 years ago, while PS5 sales have dropped 25 percent. Recent price hikes are being pointed to as a key factor, with the Xbox Series X now costing around $800 and the PS5 Pro about $900. Industry watchers are debating whether high prices and a weaker release lineup are pushing players away from dedicated consoles.

Why now: Steep price hikes and record-low Xbox sales are raising concerns about the health of the console market.
