European game sales slumped in July due to a shortage of consoles and a lack of major new releases.Total retail and digital sales fell to 8.62 million copies, a drop of 38% compared to last year.The first place in the chart was taken by F1 22, which was released last June.Among the new releases in the top was the threequel Xenoblade Chronicles, taking the seventh position - the game performance was higher by 27% compared to Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition.Perhaps the trilquel's position would have been even more successful if Nintendo had disclosed digital sales figures.If we're only talking about retail, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 symbolically took third place - it was overtaken by Nintendo Switch Sports and F1 22.The latter took the top spots in Germany, Italy and France, while Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga topped Britain.Interestingly, in July last year, the best sales figures were for F1 2021 and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.More than 297,000 consoles were sold in July, down 48% from last July.In first place again Nintendo Switch, then the situation with the PS5 and Xbox Series is worse because of the lack of models on the market.Since the beginning of the year sales of consoles dropped in European markets by 26% - mainly due to shortages of the same PS5.But the Switch and Xbox Series figures were slightly higher than the same period last year.That said, nearly 9 million accessories were sold in July, down 9.4% from 2021.The DualSense controller for the PS5 tops this top again.Top July sales (retail+number) F1 22 Grand Theft Auto V FIFA 22 LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Red Dead Redemption 2 Nintendo Switch Sports* Xenoblade Chronicles 3* Mario Strikers: Battle League Football* Mario Kart 8: Deluxe* NBA 2K22 The Crew 2 Elden Ring Minecraft Switch Edition Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle The Quarry Far Cry 6 Pokemon Legends: Arceus* Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Gran Turismo 7 Kirby and the Forgotten Land**without counting digital sales More on Gamesromania Conditional Free PUBG attracts 80,000 new players a day Fantasy survival game Nightingale will be released in early access in 2023 Jeff Keeley promises surprises and surprises at the opening of gamescom
