Going over my redo predictions I had Switch reaching 3.19M, PS5 reaching 1.55M, and Xbox Series reaching 132k. I’ve come to understand that my predictions were rather high as I expected the Japanese market to be higher (though I don’t have a reason why).
Switch was ~78k below my prediction and is actually rather close.
PS5 was ~100k below my predictions, close but still a bit off.
Xbox Series was ~14.2k below my predictions, very close very considerably off given Xbox sold up to 117k.
What a solid year 2024 was for the Switch. A considerable drop for the PS5 and the Xbox Series.
2025 will be very interesting considering the entrance of the Switch 2, and GTA VI, and the possibility of Microsoft backing out from the console hardware market.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)
PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)
Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
