I've done the math. Our estimates on VGC has Xbox Series at 456.5K for 2024. 39% drop would be 278.5K for 2025. We have sales in 2024 so far at 226.6K, leaving 51.9K for December. That would be a 43% drop for the month compared to December 2024. Overall it seems like our estimates are pretty good for Xbox in UK.

Hopefully Chris gives some PS5 figures next.

Dunno if you've seen it yet, but PS5 was down 12% YoY.

UK for 2025. Xbox -39% PS5 -12%

Paints a very different picture than the -40% November (pre-bf) did. I don't know what the YTD YoY was like up until then, but maybe BF onwards it was up YoY.

12% drop for PS5 year-on-year would put our estimates at 867K for 2025. We have it at 705K through November, which would put December at 162K. That would be down slightly from the 167.5K sold in December 2024. That seems reasonable enough.
