Here we see data representing the global sales through to consumers and change in sales performance of the three current platforms (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch) and three legacy platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo 3DS) over comparable periods for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Also shown is the market share for each of the consoles over the same periods.

Nintendo

Black Friday would be included in the report 3 weeks from now I believe.  In 2 weeks, Switch should have sold at least 18m total.  That's a really good amount going into Black Friday and the holiday season.  However, all reports indicate that there will be major hardware shortages during these holidays. (PS5 and X|S are in a similar boat.)  Switch is going to have a great year no matter what happens, but just how much it sells exactly will be dependent upon how much they can ship.  It's basically all going to get bought.
