PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S vs Switch Launch Sales Comparison Through Week 60

T

PS5 Vs. Xbox Series X|S Vs. Switch US:

1. PS5: 6,122,408
2. Switch: 5,830,069
3. XSX|S: 5,546,566

Through the first 60 weeks available in the US the PlayStation 5 is ahead of the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S. The PS5 is ahead of the Switch by 0.29 million units and is 0.58 million units ahead of the Xbox Series X|S. The Switch is ahead of the Xbox Series X|S by 0.28 million units.

The PS5 has sold 6.12 million in 60 weeks in the US, while the Switch sold 5.83 million units and the Xbox Series X|S 5.55 million units.

Looking at the marketshare through 60 weeks, the Switch currently leads. The PS5 has a 35.0 percent marketshare, the Switch sits at 33.3 percent, and the Xbox Series X|S at 31.7 percent.

I feel like this is the contest to watch for the immediate future.  X|S clearly narrowed the gap between it and PS5 in the US.  Given the chip shortage, I think it is likely this trend will continue and X|S will surpass the PS5 in the US.
