This looks like a pretty typical 2020 sales week to me. Switch a bit over 300k with PS4 doing half that and XB1 doing about 1/6th.

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

You mean the moment those two release (likely mid november 2020)? The 65m range or a little above seems about right.

Wow, Switch seems to be keeping up pretty well despite the dry spell.

What came out for Switch that week that warranted such a bump in NA week over week?

Hopefully the production issues in China due to COVID-19 don't hurt Switch global sales too much; Nintendo says Europe and NA won't be affected, but Japan is a huge market for them.

Switch really hasn't had good luck on this front, with the shortage of mobile parts in 2017 causing them long lasting supply issues too.

Also, was there an Xbone deal this week? It jumped up nearly 20%
