PS5 vs Switch Sales Comparison - January 2023

This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the PlayStation 5 and Switch.

The PlayStation 5 launched in November 2020, while the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup.

PS5 Vs. Switch Worldwide:

Gap change in latest month: 356,566 - PS5

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,236,117 - Switch

Total Lead: 2,698,635 - NS

PlayStation 5 Total Sales: 31,767,146

Switch Total Sales: 34,465,781

January 2023 is the 27th month the PlayStation 5 has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 5 when compared to the aligned launch of the Nintendo Switch by 356,566 units.

In the last 12 months, the Switch has outsold the PS5 by 3.24 million units. The Switch is ahead of the PS5 by 2.70 million units.

The PlayStation 5 has sold 31.77 million units in 27 months, while the Nintendo Switch sold 34.47 million units. Month 27 for the PlayStation 5 is January 2023 and for the Nintendo Switch it is May 2019.

The Nintendo Switch crossed 40 million in month 33, 50 million in month 35, and 60 million in month 41. The Nintendo Switch has sold 121.83 million units through January 2023.

The PS5-Switch double helix is broken for now.
Switch cruises for the next 5 aligned months, giving PS5 a chance to make up some lost ground, then Switch starts climbing again in month 32, when holiday 2019 hit, following by the 2020 boom.
