I have updated my database for VGChartz global monthly sales and am now releasing it for anyone to view. You can get it here. Similar to my Famitsu sales database it has two sheets, one is chronological months the other is launch aligned months.
The charts and tables in the OP have been updated after some adjustments. The adjustments are as follows: PS5 up by 1k. Switch down by 6k. XS down by 121k.
