Do you think PlayStation 5 sales will be as good as Nintendo Switch sales?

Next update.

As of September 30, 2024 (31 quarters)

Switch:

Japan- 35.62m (96.3%) +10%

Americas- 56.11m (96.7%) +9%

Europe- 37.52m (76.6%) +8%

Other- 16.79m (64.6%) +5%

Progress has slowed, but it was still very significant.

Compare to top consoles at 30(32) quarters.

Japan (DS, 30 quarters): 32.98m (99.9%) +.6%

Americas (Wii, 30 quarters): 48.46m (99.6%) +1.4%

Europe (PS2, 32 quarters): 49.35m (90.6%) +8%

My source for exact PS2 shipments to Europe disappeared so bear with the change. The sales could be a bit wrong. Doesn't really matter though because Switch still outperformed expectations. Switch will far exceed Americas and Japan expectations but fall slightly behind Europe and Others.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that my initial prediction undershot Japan and the US, but it overshot Europe and Other.  Overall, I think this is going to balance out and total Switch sales will get fairly close to my overall initial prediction of 170m (although it might end up a few million short of this).

Yeah nice prediction in the end.

I am curious on when you predicted the Switch to launch back when you made that 170m prediction. Your answer would be interesting either way.
