Jesus. All sales awful, except for the Switch1 which is benefitting from the awful pricing of all current gen systems and also thanks to Japan's obsession with the Switches.

Switch 2 back down to its reality of solid-but-nothing-special sales after it's one great month in March. The record breaking launch sales of almost a year ago seem like a distant memory at this point. I guess the good thing for Nintendo though is that the surprise system seller Pokopia driving crazy March HW sales shows that Switch 2 sales could start to be turned around if they actually start putting out must-have games which have been entirely lacking for the system so far. Really poor planning/execution by Nintendo this gen, and even more so with the upcoming price increase at a time when the US is tanking the whole world economy. A lot is riding on the rumored OoT remake this year and Mario next year, especially if they don't have any other major system sellers incoming.

PS5 holyyy cow that price increase nuked Sony. At some point these companies are gonna have to just take a hit on hardware in order to sell more games and therefore make more money. Who cares if you get an extra $100-$200 from hardware if that prevents people from spending multiple hundreds of dollars on games + more on accessories and subscriptions the next few years. PS5's month looks like a just average Switch WEEK back in its heyday.

And Xbox, sorry, "XBOX", dead man walking as usual.
