November and Black Friday sales here in Brazil at least on Amazon we had potentially well over 20:1 ratio for PS5 to Switch 2.

Amazon shows sales of over 30K and over 10K for PS5 digital and disc models (minumin 40K but likely well above that), and sales of 1000, 700 and 400 for the Switch 2 Mario Kart World, Pokemon Legends ZA and Switch 2 only (minimum 2.1K but not possible to be well above that without reaching other sales milestones).

PS VR 2 was above 3K itself there.

And there was also a lot of good coupouns on other big stores and markeplaces like Mercado Livre, Kabum, Magazine Luiza and even Shopee and AliExpress.

Playstation consoles, accessories and games here got a lot of great price drops, I would definitely have jumped on it myself if I didn't have one already.

Nintendo's main problem is that they seemingly don't have any of the good distribution partners Sony has all over the world, which means that outside Japan and the west, Nintendo is basically dead with no possibility of growth due to the sky high prices of Nintendo consoles outside Japan and the west. PS is everywhere on the other hand due to Sony's much better distribution on lower cost.

It all comes down to Nintendo all in all being a fairly small video game company with 9k employees, they can't really ever compete with Sony on a global arena when it comes to gaming. Nintendo can only focus on a few big markets.

No Nintendo console has ever sold decent numbers outside Japan, the US and Europe, while Sony already during PS2 era sold tens of millions of consoles outside those 3 markets.
