Nothing out of the ordinary here, except declining Xbox sales.
PS5 sales up massively year over year, but early 2022 was so bad that Xbox was competitive. In other words, it's easy to have high percentage growth when you are comparing to a very low base.
Switch sales being down year over year towards the end of its sixth year is normal. March's slight uptick might be due to a value-added Mario bundle, but I have to admit that I haven't been paying attention lately. The Super Mario Bros. movie will probably have a positive effect on Switch sales in April and beyond, especially if there's a continued presence of value-added Switch SKUs. Over time that current 25% YTD decline can be mitigated to a 10-15% YTD figure.
Xbox is just weak. At the beginning of this year I expected only very slight growth, but it doesn't even manage that.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
