I've created some graphs for launch sales comparisons. Started as I was curious how the XSX was stacking up to the 360 in Japan and decided to make a few more. I intend to update these graphs each week as new data comes out, if anyone has any other comparisons they'd like to see made and updated weekly (hopefully) as a graph let me know.

Global Sales: Updated to: VGC (Week ending 11th December), This is the 58th week of PS5/XSX sales and the 251st week of Switch sales.

Japan Sales: Updated to: Famitsu Week 51 (19th December 2021), This is the 58th week of PS5/XSX Sales and the 251st week of Switch Sales.
