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

[PAOerfulone]

Week 47 Breakdown:

PS4: Down in all regions
Xbox One: Down in all regions
Nintendo Switch: Up in all regions

We are officially in !WEEK 2! of the PS5/XSXS generation, or just Week 47 of the calendar year. And the PS4 and Xbox One remain essentially flat from previous weeks when they would usually trend upwards considerably in anticipation for Black Friday, which will take place next week as @mk7sx has pointed out. Yes, it looks like thanks to their next-gen counterparts, we have now officially reached the Twilight years of our old current gen consoles and Black Friday won't do them manner favors... The Switch on the other hand, is prime and poised to break 2 million units sold next week - Looking to become the first system to do it since the Nintendo DS in Christmas 2009. As well as the first system EVER to do it on Black Friday week. One way or the other, this holiday season promises to be one for the record books.

Calculations -

Based on percentages, the projected final (52-week) totals for 2020 would look as follows for all three systems:

PlayStation 4 - 10,529,816 units (Down from 10,796,262 units)

Xbox One - 4,599,465 units (Down from 4,678,665 units)

Nintendo Switch - 33,313,103 units (Down from 33,654,177 units)

As you can see, the projections are steadily getting lower as we get closer to the finish line. But as @PDiddy pointed out, this year is a 53-WEEK year. Hence why said this was the (52-week) projection. So whatever the projections are in the coming weeks, the actual, final 2020 totals will be slightly higher than those, because 2020 will have an extra week.
