And to expand on that last point, right now in 2023 XBS is selling about on par with what XB1 was selling in 2016. I'd estimate XBS ~1.3M to XB1 1.1M fir the first 6 months.

Then, while PS4 sold 1.58M, PS5 has sold ~2.7M in the same 6 month time frame.

Thanks for sharing.

That's actually what I've been asuming since January '23.

Interesting to finally see someone addressing that point with data. At least the Xbox consoles are really losing traction since the start of 2023, the whole brand not so much due to Game Pass.

If Sony are able to push software output further in the second half of PS5's life cycle, especially with great First Party titles, then PS5 will easily reach 100mill units until the end of 2026 or even earlier.

Would be insane witnessing the Switch going to de-throne the mighty PS2 after almost 20 years, but only to be put into second place again soon after. Again by a Playstation console.

Then again, 155+mill is a very steep hill to climb, even for the PS5.
