I've gone and adjusted our PS5 estimates and we now have it at 59.3M lifetime for a gap of 2.3M. That is down from a gap of 2.7M-3.7M (according to Sony's data) at the end of March. 

Isn't that very little? the switch difference is only 2 million units. Considering its numbers, the PS5 would take 3 months to reach 61.7 million consumers.

PS5 is selling more than the Switch so the gap for PS5 being a little higher to make up the difference in sales IMO makes sense. 

Hopefully Sony announces the PS5 selling 60M lifetime. In the past they've announced every 10M sold for PS5 1 to 2 weeks after it hit the milestone. So even if they announce 60M in the next week or so that means it hit the milestone at the end of July or beginning of August. Given its current sales VGC estimates will have it hitting 60M at the end of July.

As always we will do more adjustments once more data becomes available.
