Some anecdotal evidence via available data from Amazon US (in the last month):
Switch 2 sales: 40,000+
Playstation 5 sales across all 3 models/skus (digital, disc, pro): 5,000+
Switch 1 sales across all 7 models/skus (original, OLED, 5 Lite colors): 7,800+
Xbox Series across all 3 models/skus (X disc, X digital, S): 3,500+
Again, just one retailer in one region but it helps illustrate just how much PS5 sales have decreased since the price hike. We now know that Switch 2 has a comfortable lead for the year, EU is no longer providing enough of an advantage for the PS5 and in May the Switch 2 will likely sell more in Japan alone than the PS5 will worldwide.
It would take GTA6 and a miracle for the PS5 to win this now.
