Under 12M. A lot under 12M. 2022 was the peak year for PS5 sales.

If Switch and PS5 (and X|S) are competing, then Switch is going to eat into the PS5 + X|S total.  Furthermore it will do it chronologically.  For the first three years Switch sold about the same as 3DS + Wii U or maybe a bit more.  Then in the fourth year it's sales rocketed up far beyond that.  Likewise, so far PS5 + X|S has only been a bit less than PS4 + XB1.  If PS5 + X|S sales crater, then it is going to happen this year.  It's going to roughly coincide with the Switch's sales boom.

The only difference on a month-to-month basis is that PS5+X|S will probably crater a bit sooner.  Switch's sales boom happened after 3 holidays, and PS5 just had it's third holiday.  Hardware sales are heavily weighted around the holidays.  The crater will happen sometime this year, but it's hard to say exactly when since the launch dates of Switch and PS5 do not coincide.

I'm curious, now that it's been about a year what are your thoughts on this and current expectations for the PS5?
