"USA hardware estimates for January 2025:

PlayStation 5 - 250,191
Switch - 125,128
Xbox Series X|S - 123,792"


Rough month for all 3.

Part of the reason for such a big drop year-on-year is due to January 2024 having 5 weeks, while January 2025 has 4 weeks.

In the perfect case scenario. all three manufacturers could go out every month and give us SOLD number (not shipped) from 1st to 31st/30th for every month. That way everything all the time would be, exact, on point, accurate, nice and fair. The reality is different however .. we don't get nothing for xbox, and only shipped numbers from sony and nintendo once per 3 months, and everything else has to be estimated based on different reports for the different regions, and outside Japan and US the estimates have to be collected from I don't know how may 5+ ? 10 + ? 20? different report companies, based on weeks and months that they made on their own mind. ... What a shame!

Website like VGChartz is the perfect place, all in one, for all the sales data, for every of the three manufacturers to come, partnership and start to give out data every month, but I know that the site is not so big, and that will probably not happen. But it would be nice. Everything in one place. The manufacturers of the consoles need site like VGChartz. And of course, so do we, as a gamers, and fans.
