PlayStation/Xbox/Switch Hardware Battle: 2021 Edition: FINAL RESULTS!

[PAOerfulone]

Week 6 Breakdown:

PlayStation 4: Down in all regions.

PlayStation 5: Up in all regions.

Xbox One: Down in all regions.

Xbox Series: Up in all regions.

Nintendo Switch: Up in all regions.

Well, that was a quick and easy summary. 

With the release of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Switch sales saw a big rise from last week as they are back over 400k. But Nintendo weren't the only ones who were planning on shipping extra units for this week. In addition to the Nintendo Switch having another 100k+ advantage this week, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series each saw noticeable bumps in sales, especially the former, as they both achieve their largest victories so far this year. Looks like Mario felt like spreading the wealth. The Xbox Series adds to its growing lead over the Xbox One, and the PS5 nearly cuts the PS4's lead in half. Both new-gen systems also saw higher adjustments, which adds to their yearly sales. Looks like all members of the Big Three are clicking on all cylinders (outside of manufacturing of course.)

The PS4 and Xbox One continue to fall further behind their predecessors with no signs of letting up. It'll be curious to see how much further their legs will fall as Sony and Microsoft continue to focus more and more on their new gen consoles, and how those cut legs will effect the PS4 and Xbox One's final totals. If this keeps up, it'll just add to my doubts as to whether or not the PS4 will even manage to catch the Game Boy.
