PlayStation Portal Is The Best-Selling Accessory This Year

As a hardcore gamer with a soft spot for Sony consoles and a wallet that seems to have an endless pit of cash for gaming accessories, I must say that the PlayStation Portal has truly stolen my heart! This year, it’s been the best-selling accessory, and for good reason. It’s not just a handheld device; it’s a portable extension of my PS5 experience, complete with DualSense Wireless controller features and a crisp 1080p screen.

The PlayStation Portal is the best-selling accessory of 2024.

Mat Piscatella from Circana recently disclosed key points about the US video game market in July 2024, revealing a total spending of $4.4 billion on hardware, content, and accessories. When it comes to accessories, the PlayStation Portal was the top-selling accessory for both July 2024 and the entire year in terms of revenue. On the other hand, the PS5 DualSense Wireless controller Midnight Black was the most popular accessory in July 2024 and for all of 2024 when considering unit sales.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that overall spending on video game accessories saw a 4% increase in July compared to last year, totaling approximately $184 million. It was primarily Sony’s innovative offerings like the remote play device, PlayStation Portal, and Gamepads that fueled this year-on-year growth spike.
