The gap between PS5 and Switch 2 is not so dramatic because prices are high all around. Both have cheaper Japan only consoles aiming to lowered the costs. What more can be done? Switch 2 Lite next year?

And that makes ps5 sales satisfying.

I lost the count how many weeks has stayed above 10k (6th year) .

99% from the salvator ps5 digital, more affordable but also more proof that Japanese PlayStationer went digital, hence the so weak software presence in the charts. 

Retaining that for the next 11 weeks and it will approach the new milestone, howbeit since sales rise like a phoenix on holidays, it should exceed 8m.

I will reiterate my wish it falls a short of PS4 for just 500k (or a bit more or at least a tie , but that's tough, it depends on the successor release time frame(will it be 2028), price (which is certain that will be exorbitant in the beggining?)

Switch 2 lite Feb - March 2028.😜 

It's a mystery by how much the revision will cut the cost in order to have a great effect. 

Less memory? 

Frankly I would expect the Switch Lite around the summer or the fall of 2027.

On the topic though, less than good sales for NS2, it should've boosted back to 30 and even 40k by now .. strange.

PS5 remains at relatively good level so far for the year. NS1 record low sales.
