The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild returned to the top 20 monthly chart in May, placing 13th after finishing April at #28. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the best-selling game of May 2023, instantly becoming the #2 best-selling title of 2023 year-to-date, despite only physical sales from Nintendo being included in the best-selling titles charts. PlayStation 5 continues to lead the 2023 hardware market across both units and dollars. Consumer spending on Switch hardware reached an all-time May high for the platform, while unit sales were 2nd highest ever for the platform in a May month, trailing only May 2020. Switch was the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales during May 2023. Double-digit percentage growth in both PlayStation 5 and Switch dollar sales again offset declines on other platforms.
This is the highest VG hardware spend for a May month since the $427M reached in May 2008.
Video game hardware spending increased 56% vs YA, to $338M.
