Between the period of April 6 to July 5, 2025, Microsoft was responsible for six of the top ten games in PlayStation sales.

According to information released by Mat Piscatella, an executive director and video game analyst at Circana, Microsoft's titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Minecraft, Doom: The Dark Ages, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion: Remastered, and Forza Horizon 5 ranked ninth, eighth, sixth, fifth, third, and second in terms of revenue, when considering physical and digital sales from participating publishers.

Bandai Namco's Elden Ring: Nightreign claimed the first position, preventing Microsoft from sweeping the top three spots.

For Xbox, four of the top ten games were also published by Microsoft. However, Take-Two followed closely with WWE 2K25, NBA 2K25, and PGA Tour 2K25. Elden Ring: Nightreign also led the sales on Microsoft's platforms.

Nintendo's best-selling game was Mario Kart World, launched with the Nintendo Switch 2. Aside from Nintendo's strong presence with seven out of ten games, Cyberpunk 2077, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and Hogwart's Legacy also made the list.
