If those sales numbers are accurate that puts Xbox SX pretty close to PS5. Didn't really expect it to be that close in the US. I wonder if it's also closer that we thought in some European countries. |
Given the crazy surge in March for NSW and PS5 (likely >500K), I think stimulus + large end of FY shipment left inventory a little dry in early April.
The PS5 performed better in the US during April than UK. April 2021 in the UK it slipped below the PS4 (!) and sold somewhere <5k units and even slipped behind the NSW YTD, after a gigantic Jan-Mar. Inventory was definitely depleted. Then it surged monstrously in May 2021 and leaped past the NSW YTD all over again lol.
I think in the US we'll see the NSW/PS5 both have better Apr > May holds than is typical (or maybe even increases).
