The head of GamesIndustry Christopher Dring via Twitter announced the PlayStation 5 was the best-selling platform in the UK in April, while the Nintendo Switch came in second place, and the Xbox Series X|S in third-place.
The PS5 had its best month in April in the UK as there was more stock available than in any previous month.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as was previously reported broke records for the franchise.
"PS5 had its best month of the year in the UK last month, and was the No.1 platform ahead of Switch. Finally some stock arrived," said Dring. "Lego Star Wars broke records, as we already reported. Otherwise a quiet month."

What annoys me is that my local CeX electronic store that deals specifically in pre owned goods has ps5's sat on the shelves

Series X are on the shelves for £450+
Who would have thought that having more stock would lead to more sales... especially in a market where people are clamoring to get their hands on one? ?
Awesome news for Sony and even better news for those who have been trying for months to snag one.

Seems like a month of good stock
Series S i see everywhere however like the PS5, iv yet to see a Series X on shelves to.
I see no series x
Talking about Brazil, from what I see PS5 and Series X are both equally hard to come by in stores for MSRP (Yes I have seem plenty of boxes, mostly PS5, for 50% or more extra price) and Series S is easy to find for MSRP and even below in some promotions. But it is quite probable that MS knowing Brazil is a poorer country than other markets have severely gone in favor of S instead of X here.
