VGChartz estimates have the 3DS at 3.85M in the UK. We have PS5 estimates at 3.06M through October. November is looking to be a big month for the PS5, so once that data comes I will see how close we have PS5 to 3DS. If the gap looks too big I will do adjustments. 

I found some historical data and found the OG Xbox sold 2.14M in the UK through 2005. It was discontinued in 2006, so OG Xbox is likely around 2.3M lifetime in the UK. We have Xbox Series X|S estimates at 2.21M through October. I'd say our Xbox Series X|S estimates look pretty spot on.

trunkswd how much would the ps5 have to be fixed in the UK now that the data is out?
