Original: Console market craters: Xbox sales drop 33%, PS5 sales drop 25%

Console hardware sales are falling sharply, with Xbox sales down 33% to their lowest point since launch 25 years ago and PS5 sales down 25%. Steep price hikes are being blamed, pushing the Xbox Series X to $800 and the PS5 Pro to $900. The figures point to a broader slump in the console market as rising costs deter buyers.

Why now: Major sales declines and high-profile price hikes for the two leading consoles are worrying gamers and industry watchers.
