I got a bit confused by this since the hardware by date tool has pretty different numbers for September 2021 and ended up digging a bit in last years NPD thread where I found this:
So the 5 week period we should be comparing to should be the weeks September 4th - October 2nd last year, but those weeks have been adjusted since then and combined have these numbers currently (taken from the hardware by date tool): PS5 - 425k Compared to that the year-on-year growth for VgChartz current estimates would be: PS5 - 430K (+1%) It's possible I'm missing something here but if not then this certainly seems quite off. I am wondering a bit what made the Xbox numbers from last year get adjusted down so much from the original 311k to 250k tho, but trunkswd probably has a better idea of that. |
That 5 week period would have been adjusted many months ago when I got some new data. I don't remember when it was. Taking a quick look I do need to adjust September 2022 again. Xbox down a bit and PS5 up a bit.
