Notes:
PS5 posts possibly the highest February sales for a PlayStation console ever. We know it was the best February in the USA ever but we don't have the global data for PS2/PS1 to confirm that for global sales. It reduced the gap to PS4 sales by almost 0.8m in a single month.
Switch is down over 30% YoY in February and the gap to the DS slightly widens launch aligned. Switch needs to see a big improvement later in the year if it is to have any chance of catching the DS globally.
Xbox Series sales are fairing better in February than January but are still slightly down YoY and current indications are March is going to be a very rough month for Xbox Series sales. It will never win a battle of legs against the x360 so it must continue to keep putting out better months and build a large gap before the x360 strikes back.
Edit: Added adjustments for Xbox Series. All months last year were adjusted by varying degrees resulting in Xbox Series sales dropping by around 234k.
