Not as strong for the Switch 2 as July was but with no major release like Bananza over 1.1m is still very strong and around a million a month could be the Switch 2's usual sales outside of the holidays for a while. The PS5 and Xbox Series didn't decline as much as last time but the latter is likely going to go below 100k a month soon and the former was actually up compared to the same month for the PS4 which is the first time that's happened this year. September should be worse for the PS5 due to the US price increase but maybe Xbox will get helped a bit due to panic buying before its price increase takes effect. Also the Switch 1 took a hit in the Americas as expected but due to it doing better in Asia and Europe for whatever reason it was actually slightly up from July so maybe it has a bit more life left in it than it seemed.

Xbox will likely not drop below 100K in a month until next year as September is a 5 week month and October is the start of the holiday period where we normally see sales start to increase. Though, the second Xbox price increase in the US will hinder that. Either way hardware sales have not been good for Xbox.

When it come to the PS5 it was discounted for a lot of September across Europe, so that will help offset any declines in the US due to the price increase.
