PS5 was #1 last year by a decent amount.

October 2022 (PS5 and XS figures were leaked, while NS are estimates with it being in 3rd):

1. PS5: 456,317
2. XS: 261,106
3. NS: 255,165

I'm still working on the estimates for October 2023, but they should be roughly around this for the US unless more data comes in:

1. PS5: ~325K
2. NS: ~205K
3. XS: ~200K

Mat said double digit decline for all 3 consoles and didn't specify which had declined the most.

So why a higher percentage decline for PS5 when there is clearly no concrete info on that?

I'm still working on it, but looking at it more I am inclined to go with 330K for PS5. % drop that is 27.7% for PS5, 23.4% for XS, and 19.7% for NS. PS5 had more to fall with how much higher it was a year ago than the other consoles. Plus there is better Xbox Series X stock compared to last year. With the PS5 'slim' launching in November it is possible some people decided to wait for the new model.
