Dec 2024 USA Sales: PS5 Best-Selling System of the Year, PS Portal Best-Selling Accessory 1

It’s business as usual for PS5 in Circana’s USA sales report for December 2024, as Sony’s system was the month’s top-selling console yet again, despite dipping 18% year-over-year. It’s important to remember that the device had a particularly strong 2024, so these are still very respectable numbers.

Both the ageing Nintendo Switch, now in its twilight years, and Xbox Series X|S, slipped to 38% declines.

In terms of pure dollar sales generated, the PS5 is now ranked third on the all-time USA sales list. However, its high price needs to be considered here, as it currently ranks 11th in terms of units. Of course, it’s still got a lot of life left in it so will surely continue to improve upon its position.

On the software front, Sony had an impressive year. Helldivers 2 was the third best-selling game of the year, behind only Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and EA Sports College Football 25. MLB The Show 24 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 both also charted.

We’ll include all of the sales charts below, but one other thing worth noting is that the PS Portal was the best-selling accessory of the year, rendering it a tremendous success for Sony.

Obviously its relatively high price point gives it an advantage seeing as these charts are organised by dollars, but other expensive accessories like the DualSense Edge exist, and it’s outpacing that.
