Wow so the PS5 now joins the small number of consoles to have a 2m month outside of the holidays. The PS4 never did that so it's a big deal and it sold almost as much as it did December 2021 which shows both how insane it is and how bad stock was back then. I do expect the PS5 to peak a year earlier than the PS4 due to 2023 going nuts from pent up demand but this performance still confirms that Sony has another 100m+ seller on their hands and that by the end of this year it'll either have overtaken or be close behind its predecessor launch aligned.
Xbox Series being down so much is awful but it's still doing better than the Xbox One did so it's not outright disastrous. The combination of awful PS5 stock benefiting the Series S last year, the terrible release schedule and the Series X still apparently having some stock issues is having a real impact right now in terms of YoY but I do think it'll pick up at least somewhat the 2nd half of the year.
And Switch is right where I expect it to be overall and is on pace for 14-15m for a very good year considering its age. Considering the significant decline Nintendo should start teasing the successor soon though.
Overall the PS5 was the clear star the first quarter of this year and that'll remain the case for a while.
