Famitsu Sales: Week 52, 2022 (19 Dec - 25 Dec)

[Norion]

The Switch did really, really well this year and even a tad above my expectations since I thought if it surpassed 2019 it wouldn't be by this much. It is clearly slowing down now however and so a big decline next year seems inevitable with it probably ending up in the 3-3.5m range which would be fantastic for its age but 2022 will be the last really big year for it due to saturation starting to kick in.

The PS5 was doing poorly for most of the year being down compared to 2021 most of the time but ended strongly and just had two very good weeks in a row showing that demand is there for it so with stock issues finally being mostly over for it it should land in the 1.5-2m range for 2023 and keep up ok with the PS4 launch aligned that year.

And Xbox Series is doing amazing compared to the Xbox One but is still behind the 360 and original Xbox but could maybe still surpass the latter down the line if this holiday season doesn't mean its sales have permanently slowed down a ton.
