And yet, it was still surprising to see just how low video game console sales fell in the US towards the end of last year. However, new data from analytics firm Circana states that gaming hardware sales have actually gone up in the US lately, but only among households that are earning incomes of $100,000 (£72,600) or higher. According to Circana senior director Mat Piscatella on Bluesky, 40% of gaming hardware buyers in the first quarter of 2022 (January to March) were from such households. Conversely, the opposite has happened with gaming hardware buyers from households with incomes of less than $50,000 (£36,300).
