Sony announced their latest shipment figures: 2.5m in CQ2 which brings the YTD total to 5.3m in comparison to Switch 2's 5.82m.

Doesn't change much about what I think since the last time I posted here. It's an actual contest and it's important that Switch 2 maintains momentum in CQ3; the release schedule is light in terms of big hitters in August and September. But given that Switch 2 actually holds a 0.52m lead, I'll adjust the odds of winning to 50/50 compared to 80/20 in favor of the PS5 that I stated in June.

Which quarter do you think PS5 has a chance at catching back up? Or are you more leaning towards shortages to hinder Switch 2 during the holiday season? 

CQ3 is the PS5's best chance. And if it does catch up, then that simultaneously means that Switch 2 enters the holiday quarter with reduced momentum.

Conversely, if Switch 2 extends its YTD lead in CQ3 to more than 1m, then it will be quite safe to call the contest in favor of Switch 2.
