This was a relatively good month for 2024 standards. The PS5 didn't do much worse than the PS4 did in its equivalent month and only being about 12% down YoY is actually really good considering last October had Spider-Man 2 and at least some portion of people will have been holding off for the Pro. It should continue being down compared to 2023 overall but there's a chance November is about flat and it'll be its 2nd best holiday season yet to end the year well.
Xbox Series was unsurprisingly the weakest link but it held up a lot better than September and should hopefully be able to end the year ok though starting next month the comparison with the Xbox One is gonna get a lot more rough until GTA 6 comes out. It being the only one to be up compared to last month might indicate BO6 on Game Pass having a notable impact but the new models probably helped some so it's difficult to say.
And the Switch held up decently well thanks to it holding up better than usual in Europe though the US is pretty over the Switch at this point. Overall it's final holiday season of note should be decent but strong for its age.
