Be sure to share the Weekly breakdown article:

The Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console with 1,630,941 units sold for the week ending November 28, according to VGChartz estimates. The sales figures for this week include Black Friday.

The PlayStation 5 is in its third week available in North America, Oceania, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, and is in its second week in Europe and the rest of the world. The console sold an estimated 400,496 units to bring its lifetime sales to 3,031,824 units. 

The Xbox Series X|S is in its third week worldwide and is the third best-selling console. The consoles sold an estimated 174,049 units to bring their lifetime sales to 1,619,407 units.

It should be noted the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S are supply constrained in most markets, which will likely continue through early 2021.

The PlayStation 4 sold an estimated 169,096 units, the Xbox One sold 91,437 units, and the Nintendo 3DS sold 4,882 units.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
