The PS4 launched in the US on November 15, 2013, while the Switch launched on March 3, 2017. Therefore, the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup, which is why there are big increases and decreases.
Switch Vs. PS4 US: Gap change in latest month: 198,958 - Switch Gap change over last 12 months: 4,194,558 - Switch Total Lead: 6,387,436 - Switch Switch Total Sales: 29,905,942 PS4 Total Sales: 23,518,506 June 2021 is the 52nd month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for. During the latest month, the gap in the US between the Switch and PlayStation 4 grew in favor of the Switch when you align launches. The Switch sold 198,958 more units than the PS4 in the last month. In the last 12 months, the Switch has grown its lead by 4.19 million units. The Switch currently leads by 6.39 million units. The 52nd month on sale for the Switch is June 2021, while for the PS4 it is February 2018. The Switch has sold 29.91 million units, while the PS4 sold 23.52 million units during the same timeframe. The PS4 did not reach the current Switch sales until month 71 where it sold a total of 30.10 million units. The PS4 has been available for 92 months in the US and has sold 34.86 million units. The Switch is currently 4.95 million units behind the lifetime sales of the PS4. |
The end is in sight for this battle; PS4 won't sell much more in the US from here on out, while at the speed Switch is moving, 4.95 million isn't much of a buffer. We might even see the Switch overtake by the end of the year.
