EA Sports FC 24 was Europe’s best-seller in May as console sales fell 40%

Familiar faces took the top two spots on the ********* software sales chart in May.

EA Sports FC 24 charted at No.1, followed by Grand Theft Auto 5 and F1 2024.

While EA’s racing game was the highest new entry on the chart, its launch sales were down 35% compared to last year’s F1 game.

, which covers physical game sales from major markets and digital sales from most leading publishers, excluding Nintendo and 505 Games.

Total software sales in May were down almost 17% compared to a year earlier, while console unit sales declined 40% year-over-year.

Some of these declines can be explained by last year’s blockbuster release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which sold more copies in May 2023 than the entire top 10 managed last month.

The game’s release was also accompanied by the launch of a popular Zelda edition of the Switch OLED.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut charted at No.4 last month following the release of the PC version.

And Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door debuted at No.5, a feat achieved based on physical sales alone given Nintendo doesn’t share digital data.
