What the video says
Xbox Series X|S just experienced a massive sales breakthrough in the US, marking its highest monthly unit sales of 2026 this June. Data from Circana analyst Matt Piscatella confirmed that console sales surged by a landmark 86% compared to June of last year.
This sudden rush of buyers is actually a strategic move to beat a looming price hike scheduled to take effect on August 1st. The upcoming price increase is so steep that Microsoft has already discontinued the high-end 2TB Xbox Series X model.
Gamers are also securing hardware ahead of major releases like the newly launched flagship Forza Horizon 6 and the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. But, with the new pricing taking effect in August, this industry-defining sales surge is expected to come to an abrupt halt.
