With the release of Switch 2 I guess it would help to put PS5, Switch and Xbox Series together as generation 9 and call Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series as "current". I think there's no need to keep the "legacy" option with Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. Or do you plan to have both Switch and Switch 2 in the same chart together with PS5 and Xbox Series?



Around the Network

If you mean the "Console Hardware Sales" section we plan to add Switch 2 to the main chart and keep PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 1 on it. Switch 1 will remain on the main chart for a while as I am sure enough people want to see when/if it crosses DS and PS2.  You can't see it, but we've been testing some other new drop downs like "Best-Selling Consoles" and "Best-Selling Handhelds."

At this point generations are less of a thing than in the past with Nintendo releasing their platforms 3 to 4 years after/before PS and Xbox. And who knows what Microsoft is planning on doing going forward. I can't recall what we decided to do with "Legacy."
