PS5 UK sales dropped by half in May following April price hike
PlayStation 5 sales in the UK reportedly dropped by 50% in May following a price increase in April, while the Xbox Series X saw a 12% boost driven by Forza Horizon 6. The Nintendo Switch remained the top-selling console. Sony's sales decline is attributed to the price hike and a lack of major upcoming exclusives, though Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to significantly boost hardware sales later in the year.
