Looks like PS5 will not be able to keep up with the Switch or XS in the US this gen

It comes down to shortages as the main reason for the very low PS5 sales. But even going into the start of this generation I predicted Xbox Series X|S to outsell the PS5 in the US by 5M-10M.

I think shortages are only half the reason. XS is very popular, in contrast to it's predecessor, which will steal many sales.

This is especially true early on, since many want to buy the console their buddy plays on. And if those got an XS because they couldn't get a PS5, then the shortages will also have some long-term consequences.
