Time.news – Even in gaming, the desire to use is growing. This is what emerges from the numbers of Subito, a platform that connects those who sell and those who buy second-hand material. In an analysis between September 1 and October 15 this year, the company showed a + 29.6% growth in traffic in the Console and Video Games category. A growth that had already been certified last March by the Second Hand Economy Observatory commissioned by Subito from BVA Doxa.
As for consoles, one of the most sought after products is the Playstation: but not the PS5 (in second place). The queen of research is the PS4. In the ranking then the PS3 peeps out, just outside the Top 10. In third place is the Nintendo Switch, while the Xbox from Microsoft appears in fifth place.
The surprise is the presence in fourth place of Sega Game Gear, a portable console produced in the nineties. Out of the top 10, the presence in 17th place of Fanatec stands out, a brand of accessories for lovers of racing car games. He does not give up the Wii (16th), which remains a must for families with small children.

In terms of video gamesthe research has highlighted the success of Fifa, arrived at version 23. In the Top 10 there is also another “evergreen”, or Pokémon: a word requested by an audience that covers all ages, and which remains topical for those who use Nintendo consoles.
Just as the Arcade games remain topical, suitable for nostalgics but not only: the pinball machine, albeit in digital format, is a somewhat analogue success in the research carried out on Subito. Just as, more generally, the word “arcade” is enough to go hunting for titles that have never been forgotten by those arriving from the nineties. Also good dark fantasy like “Elder Ring” and the great success “The last of us”, there is also a classic racing title like “Gran Turismo 7”.
