2023- 647k

PS4/PS5

My prediction 2023- 540k

2023- 402k

XBS

My prediction 2023- 29.5k

2023- 19.3k

All of predictions were way off and way too optimistic, even if we included a 9th week (week 53). I was closest with PS5 because as expected, the low stock situation before the release of the next version of the PS5 damaged sales more than helped.

It made a lot more sense back when the Switch and PS5 were selling super well earlier in the year. It's like the Zelda effect worked great until it didn't.
