This year was almost impossible to predict based on last year. At 20 million I would have thought Switch would easily pass its target. Then I would expect a late life decline for the other two on top. I expected Switch to take 10 out of 12 months.
Instead Playstation has crazily took most of the year. In late life and with no price cuts. The pro and good exclusives have kept its sales super strong. It seems obvious that many gamers who would have bought a Switch or gone full multi platform have gone with the upgrade instead.
More so with the X. The Pro is probably around 30% of sales, though there have been year long stock problems, so this might have been much higher. The X though looks like it is not a million miles off half of the Xbox sales. Without the X and its invigoration of the Xbox brand, the Switch probably would have met its target and Xbox would be all but dead till next gen.
