Dang what happened to Xbox, looks like the fever time ended quickly. Also I wonder why PS4 is increasing in sales. It's not like PS5 has supply issues anymore. Kind of odd it's consistently selling thousands now when it was only selling 12 last year.

It feels like the Switch is going to surpass last year's YTD which is crazy to think about in its 7th year and weak holiday start.

There was a promotion for the Xbox Series S in Japan. Those who purchased a Series S from June 13 to 25 got a free gift card worth 4,000 yen. That is why sales went up as much as it did for a few weeks last month.

I see forgot about that. I kinda find it funny because that 4000 yen is probably the amount Microsoft raised prices in Japan. So technically it just returned to its former price disguised as a good deal. 
Also do you have an idea why PS4 sales are increasing year to year?
