As stated previously, when looking at PS and Xbox generations combined they don't really exceed a certain threshold. Whilst you can call it extrapolation, it does remain a general trend. Xbox is clearly doing better this generation, with around an extra of 2.5 million more consoles at this time than last generation.
I'd also like to point out that everyone who claims that the PS5 could sell x amount of units a week if it had the stock. It could, but not sustained.
*Note all of these numbers are arbitrary*
If 2 million people want a PS5 right this moment and 100,000 extra people wanted one each passing week, but sony can only produce 200,000 units a week, then we would have sustained sales of 200,000 for about 20 weeks before declining to 100,000 which is the new amount of people interested in getting into the market.
2,000,000 + 100,000x - 200,000x
where x equals number of weeks
But if sony could produce 300,000 they would have sustained sales of 300,000 for about 10 weeks before dropping down.
The reason I bring this up is because for as unsure as we are about the current excess demand for the ps5, we can't say for certain that these sales figure would carry on, just as we can't say that the number of consoles sold in a generation between PS and Xbox are for sure interlinked, we just have an idea of the trend
