UK 2021 April Data

Hardware

1. NSW

2. XBS

3. PS4 (you read that right)

4. PS5

5. XBO

Notes

-April 2021: ~90,000 units of hardware sold (down 59% from April 2020, which was start of UK lockdown; this is still +35% from April 2019 FYI)

-PS5 stock suffered big time

-2021 YTD NSW and PS5 are pretty close (this was also the comment back in March, with NSW slightly ahead at the time)

-NSW 2021 vs. 2020 YTD unknown (was +13.6% through March)

I am trying to figure out the monthly sales for each console in the UK and make adjustments to our numbers. 90,000 is quite low. There must have been next to no PS5 stock with the PS4 outselling it. 

Yes PS5 had to have dropped to close to 0 in April.

March 2021 was 217K consoles sold with PS5 surging past 100K.  April 2021 is 90K consoles sold, with PS4 of all things ahead of PS5.  Easiest jump is that PS5 fell >90% if NSW/XBS are flat-ish from March to April.

March

1. PS5

2. XBS

3. NSW (up 13.6% YTD from 2020, probably down vs. pure March 2020 but no comment was given)

Total ~217,000 (Sounds like NSW/XBS both around 40-50K and we know PS5 was >100K).
