Rockstar's marketing efforts for GTA 6 are ramping up, and this now includes burgers and fried chicken that you can buy in real life.

September saw a surge in video game spending, but Xbox had a bleak month.

PlayStation 5 sales grew 22% in units and 43% in dollar sales, while Nintendo saw Switch 2 sales fall by 12% year-on-year. Sony dominated the market last month, though PS5 consoles cost more today than a year ago, and last month also saw reports of PS5 Pro stock selling out quickly, presumably ahead of the November launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. As for the Switch 2, it started its run in June 2025 with strong launch sales, but that momentum has begun to slow down. It's still outpacing the original Switch console by a comfortable margin, and it's Nintendo's fastest-selling system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FatSqS3VYY&t=19s So what's
