PS4/XBO/NS - 2019 vs 2020; WEEK FIFTY-THREE!! GAME! SET! MATCH!

[PAOerfulone]

After a lengthy editing on short time, I had just posted Week 44 numbers in addition to the latest adjustments in light of Nintendo's financial numbers. And on the day where Xbox Series X/S came out no less!!!

The PS4 and Xbox One numbers remain the same, down from their pre adjustments, while the Switch has been given a notable boost. With that, here are some more calculations as we now head into the holiday season!

2019 Sale-Through Percentages:
PlayStation 4 - 68.07972368%
Xbox One - 49.25584754%
Nintendo Switch - 55.98305743%

If these percentages hold, these would be the final 2020 figures for all three systems:

Estimated 2020 totals:
PlayStation 4 - 11,323,985 units
Xbox One - 4,804,798 units
Nintendo Switch - 33,996,652 units

With the Xbox Series now officially out and the PS5 due this Friday, the chances of those percentages and estimates holding for the PS4 and Xbox One are... pretty much zero. They'll likely finish MUCH lower than that .As for the Nintendo Switch, the chances of the system selling 34 million units in one year are a little on the unlikely side, but not impossible. Given Nintendo has historically done extremely well during the holiday season, there's no reason why this year shouldn't be any different. In fact, I think it's a pretty solid chance that it'll finish over 30 million and be the first system in history to sell more than 30 million in a calendar year. (The DS fell just short of the mark in '07 and '08, though they did exceed that number in shipments.)

But we shall see, nothing to do but strap ourselves in and enjoy the ride!
