Since nobody has posted it yet, the best-guess estimates for June were posted a few days ago over at Era (as per Xevross):

NSW: >490k
XBS: >289k
PS5: 243-253k

While we don't know the SKU splits, I could see something like this producing the $401M HW revenue figure:

NSW: $127.4M (490k units @ $260/unit)
XBS: $135M (300k units @ $450/unit)
PS5: $117.8M (248k units @ $475/unit)
PS4+XBO: $21M (70k units @ $300/unit)

Total: $401.2M

Of course, the XBS may have been even higher than that, depending on what the SKU split for the 360 was in June 2011. As mentioned, if the average price per unit was $280, then at 507k units the 360 would have generated $142M in revenue, which would put the XBS at at least 315k assuming an average of $450/unit (a 3:1 split between the X and S). . So, we could also have something more like this:

NSW: $127.4M (490k units @ $260/unit)
XBS: $144M (320k units @ $450/unit)
PS5: $110.25M (245k units @ $450/unit)
PS4+XBO: $19.5M (65k units @ $300/unit)

Total: $401.15M

Also, Welfare gave his own estimates based on the results:

NSW: 477k
XBS: 310k
PS5: 250k

Assuming a 3:1 split in favor of the more expensive SKU of each system, that would give us revenue totals (rounded to the nearest $100k) of:

NSW: $131.2M
XBS: $139.5M
PS5: $118.75M

Total: $389.45M

Of course, that leaves a paltry $11.55M for the PS4 & XBO, and assuming they retailed for $300/unit on average, that would put their combined sales at less than 40k. Of course, we could nearly double that figure for the PS4+XBO if we drop the ARP for the Switch and PS5 from $275 to $260 and from $475 to $460, respectively.

Unfortunately, we've never been privy to SKU splits for U.S. sales like we usually see from Japan sales, so there's definitely going to be some margins of error associated with any of the above estimates. Still, the XBS is almost certainly at least 300k. The PS5 range seems pretty narrowed down, so if the XBO did do over 300k, the Switch may not have broken 500k unless the PS4 & XBO actually did do exceptionally poorly and/or a majority of the Switch's sales came from the Lite, though it's still almost certainly in the very high 400s.

Hopefully we get more accurate numbers down the line.

In any case, since we don't have exact figures, I'll just update my charts with the best guesses we have since I haven't updated them in a long time. Hopefully if we get the actual numbers at some point it won't nudge the data points more than a couple of pixels. I'll try to post them tomorrow, time permitting.

You mean Switch < 490k not >490k right?
