Chair Of European Parliament Trade Committee Tells German Broadcaster NTV, "We Are Close To Agreement With China To Abolish Electric Vehicle Import Tariffs"

October was a strong month for the gaming industry, with eight of the top ten best-selling games in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/video-games">U.S. being new releases</a>.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 topped the charts, contributing to a 10% year-over-year increase in U.S. video game spending, which reached $4.7 billion.
According to Circana&#8217;s monthly report (<a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/october-2024-sales-charts-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-sparks-xbox-game-pass-subscription-surge">via</a> IGN), Black Ops 6 is already the third best-selling game of the year and saw sales 23% higher in its first two weeks than last year's Modern Warfare 3 over the same period. 
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42141838/elden-ring-creator-hidetaka-miyazaki-teases-various-new-projects-in-development"> Elden Ring Creator Hidetaka Miyazaki Teases &#8216;Various New Projects&#8217; In Development</a>
Mat Piscatella of Circana noted that 82% of the game's full dollar sales came from PlayStation 5, likely because Xbox players opted to access the game through Game Pass instead of purchasing it outright.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Game Pass And Subscription Growth</h3>
The availability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41662426/black-ops-6-shatters-records-call-of-dutys-biggest-launch-drives-60-sales-spike">Black Ops 6 on Game Pass</a> appears to have driven growth in video game subscription spending, which increased 16% year-over-year in October. 
This suggests that the game attracted new subscribers to Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) platform while maintaining strong sales elsewhere.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dragon Ball And Silent Hill Stand Out</h3>
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero secured the second spot on October's sales charts and became the best-selling Dragon Ball game in the U.S. The game is also now the third best-selling title in Bandai Namco Holdings ADR&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCBDY#OTC">NCBDY</a>) history, following<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/11/42068231/sony-in-talks-to-acquire-elden-ring-publisher-kadokawa-report"> Elden Ring </a>and Dark Souls 3.
The Silent Hill 2 remake came in third and is now the second best-selling game in the franchise, second only to the original Silent Hill 2.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sales Shifts from Discounts and Game Pass</h3>
The Final Fantasy I-VI Collection moved up from No. 90 in September to No. 19 in October, likely due to a significant price drop on Nintendo ADR&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, Sifu climbed to No. 9 on Xbox's monthly active users chart after being added to Game Pass.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hardware And Accessories Performance</h3>
Hardware sales saw a 23% decline compared to last year. Nintendo Switch sales dropped 38%, while PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series sales were down 20% and 18%, respectively. The PlayStation 5 remains the top-selling console in both units and dollar sales, with Xbox Series consoles in second place.
In accessories, spending increased by 15%, with Sony Group Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) PlayStation Portal becoming the month's best-selling item.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
