No double helix for PS5, it will probably will never get close to the Switch. Because if shortages won't end before 2023, both PS4 and Switch have such a big distance that the PS5 won't be able to catch up.

At the same time, PS5( with one more holiday) is 17,30M vs Switch with 17,79.

Ms this quarter my guess is 4,3-4,5M

Nintendo 8,3-9.9M

Holidays and launches don't matter much if you can't produce enough units to sell them. The PS5 wouldn't have sold better or worse if it didn't launch in the holidays. Same for Switch, the first year of a successful console is usually selling out and selling what you can produce. Sony however can't produce this gen, so it will not compete with the Switch aligned anymore because it won't be able to catch up. Even catching up to PS4 if it even managed that will be a challenge.
