PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S vs Switch Launch Sales Comparison Through Week 104

This weekly series compares the aligned launch sales of the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

It should be noted the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S had a worldwide launch, while the PlayStation 5 launch was split over the course of two weeks. Also, the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017, while the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S launched during the holidays in November 2020.

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

  1. Switch: 31,568,091
  2. PS5: 25,559,846
  3. XSX|S: 17,988,408

I wonder if the Switch and PS5 lines will ever cross again. A 6m gap is a lot to cover and if the lines don't cross this holiday, I doubt they will in the future.

Never say never; back in 2017/2018 most folks never thought Switch could catch up to  the PS4.

The pent up demand for PS5 is such that I can see it taking off in a Switch-in-2020 way once the supply is there.
