In a shocking turn of events, hardware sales and physical game spending in the US have hit their lowest point in 30 years this November. According to Circana, only 1.6 million units of video game hardware were sold, marking a significant drop from previous years and the lowest since 1995. This decline is attributed to a combination of high average prices for new consoles, which reached an all-time high of $439, and a general downturn in consumer spending.
