CTOnews.com, December 13 (Xinhua)-- hardware sales of Sony PlayStation 5 games consoles in the United States rose sharply last month, up 45% from the same period last year, thanks to improved supply.

Sony's u.s. game hardware sales surged 45% in November to $1.3 billion, according to NPD group. "the strong hardware performance in November was mainly due to a significant increase in sales of the PlayStation 5 compared with the same period last year," said Mat Piscatella, an analyst at NPD. PlayStation 5 was the best-selling hardware platform in November, both in terms of sales and dollar sales, while Nintendo Switch ranked second in both indicators. "

Overall sales of Switch have been higher so far in 2022, while PS5 leads in overall dollar sales, in part because its price is higher than Switch.

CTOnews.com has learned that PS5 has been in short supply since its launch two years ago, and its supply has not improved until now. Sony said in early November that the shortage of PlayStation 5 consoles was easing with the end of the chip and logistics chaos associated with the COVID-19 epidemic.

In terms of games, Activision's call of Duty: modern Warfare II, the best-selling game in the United States in November, has now surpassed the Elden Ring to become the overall best-selling game in 2022.
