Be sure to share the Weekly breakdown article:

Despite having a staggered launch over the course of two weeks the PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console with 1,483,910 consoles sold for the week ending November 14, according to VGChartz estimates.

The PS5 launched in North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea for this week. The PS5 had a bigger launch in North America, Australia, and New Zealand than its predecessor, the PS4, while it had a smaller launch in Japan, Singapore, and South Korea.

Microsoft launched its next-generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and S, in 40 countries worldwide for the week. The consoles sold a combined 1,345,386 units worldwide in its launch week. This is a bigger launch than the Xbox One, which sold 1.1 million units in its first week, and is the biggest launch in Xbox history. 

The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are expected to be severely supply constrained through at least early 2021 as any consoles that become available have been selling out in a matter of minutes. 

The Nintendo Switch was the third best-selling console with sales of 722,176 consoles sold. This was followed by the PlayStation 4 with 116,301 units, the Xbox One with 45,288 units, and the Nintendo 3DS with 2,198 units.

Nintendo Switch sales compared to the same week a year ago are up 142,544 units (24.6%). The PlayStation 4 is down 211,809 units (-64.6%), the Xbox One is down 33,696 units (-42.7%), and the 3DS is down 18,027 units (-89.1%).

Since we're a week behind, can you comment on how big of a boost AOC provided the Switch outside of Japan in Week 47?

KT confirmed ~3M shipped/digital for the launch weekend, which suggests ~2.3-2.8M sell-through, around 85-90% of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee performance (3M sell-through on launch weekend).  Except in this case, Japan is the much weaker market (JP physical representing 5-8% of total sales, compared to 22% for LGPE).  So US/Europe were massively strong (like 70% of SSBU opening, except in the week right before Black Friday), and I'd expect that to help boost hardware considerably.
