The PS5 have good deals in the US this holiday season slashing 100$ of each model. The sales in US dropped this year, and is doing around 200k per month for most of the year, while it was doing around 300k per month last year. With October included the PS5 is 2.4M, while around 3.5M this time last year. Will the drop be there for the holidays as well ? There is also another strong console for the US market now, that is the Switch 2. While it may not take all the sales away, it surely takes some out of the PS5. How much do you think it will sell for the two months combined? And even separate for November, and for December ? Write your opinion below, and vote. I will list some previous PS holidays in the US here:

• 2015 (PS4) - 1.53M and 1.61M (3.14M combined)
• 2017 (PS4) - 1.64M and 1.07M (2.71M combined)
• 2016 (PS4) - 1.10M and 1.54M (2.64M combined)
• 2024 (PS5) - 1.23M and 1.37M (2.60M combined)
• 2022 (PS5) - 1.32M and 1.33M (2.55M combined)
• 2023 (PS5) - 1.01M and 1.52M (2.53M combined)
• 2018 (PS4) - 1.25M and 1.04M (2.29M combined)
• 2009 (PS3) - 730k and 1.24M (1.97M combined)
• 2011 (PS3) - 840k and 1.04M (1.88M combined)
• 2012 (PS3) - 723k and 724k (1.45M combined)

November sales in the US:
PS5: 900k.
Switch 2: 700k.

December sales in the US:
PS5: 1M.
Switch 2: 1,3M.

2.2-2.6mil seems like a safe bet for PS5. Hard to say with NS2… it’ll probably do similarly strong if I were to guess? 1mil+1.6mil (NS2) versus 1.2mil+1.0mil (PS5).

2.17M

I'm thinking 1.8 - 2 million. The PS5 has been in decline in the US all year and I imagine the holidays will be no different.

Black friday sales for PS5 on Target, Amazon etc is lower this year than last year in the US, even though the price cut was aggressive. I think this has to do with the fact that PS5 has sold faster in previous years in the US compared to Europe, which means there is fewer untapped buyers left in the US compared to Europe. That explains why this year PS5 sales have exploded in Europe compared to the US as well.

2M, maybe a bit more if the Black Friday sales helped a good bit. There really hasn't been much in the way of good Black Friday deals this generation, so maybe this could help, especially in the face of the recent price increase.

My personal take is it will sell around 2.1 - 2.2M, it is dropping in the US, so from 2.6M last year, this seems reasonable

because of xbox kinda being a non factor... I actually see them doing very high numbers.... 2.1M+ I wouldn't b super surprised if it matches its numbers from last year or exceeds them either.

I would say between 2.2 to 2.6 million. Will have better insight when we get November numbers later this month of course.
