June 2019 NPD: Days of Play Does the Business for PS4

Sony’s annual Days of Play promotion has become a big part of the PlayStation calendar, with a surprising number of exclusive titles making the June 2019 NPD software best-sellers list. Discounted favourites such as Marvel’s Spider-Man, Days Gone, MLB The Show 19, and God of War all made the month’s Top 20 in the United States – with Insomniac Games’ superhero smash hit occupying seventh place.

The period was dominated by the Super Mario Maker 2 and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled double-header, in a month that saw software sales largely flat year-over-year. Hardware, however, was down 33 per cent year-over-year – perhaps owing to the point in the generation. As a result, overall industry spend is down four per cent when compared to the same period in 2018.
