Switch 2 had a fantastic 2nd month and 7m that fast and already overtaking the PS5 for this year are not things I expected at all. The PS5 had a big decline YoY and Xbox Series a gigantic one but a lot of that is due to College Football 25 significantly boosting sales in the US last year with it being the first entry in a good while and CF26 is just another entry so nothing special.
As a result the sales of the PS5 this month are completely fine not being far behind the equivalent month for the PS4 but 67% down YoY on the other hand is still insane to see with it being a bit bigger than the Switch 1's decline. My guess is this is the last time it'll have a bigger decline than the Switch 1 but with the way the Xbox Series is going you can never know for sure. Also while it was fine this month the PS5 will take a hit in the US over the next couple months so things won't be great for it the rest of this year.
