PS4:

Slim: (25+11)*0.8+(200+23)*02+64= 137.4
Pro: 46*08+195*0.2+26= 101.8

Slim/Pro ratio: 57.4/42.6%

Xbox One:

S: (36*0.8+ (125+100)*0.2+108+26)*1.3= 270.1
X: (3*0.8+(165)*0.2+0)*1.3= 46

S/X ratio: 85.4/14.6%

Slim+S 391.5/Pro+X 110.9

Total ratio: 77.9%/22.1%

The Pro did recover quite a bit, but the S-to-X ratio almost didn't change at all

What happened?  Seems like people are not going for the high end models anymore on these past couple of posts you did.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

What happened?  Seems like people are not going for the high end models anymore on these past couple of posts you did.

The X was discounted 100$ until 10 days ago, since then both the S and the X are 50$ off. I think what happened is that everybody who wanted the X bought the Fallout 76 bundle while supply lasted and now those who just want any XBO are buying the S since it's very cheap right now.

I hope next month we will have a couple weeks without any pricecuts so we can see how well X and S sell naturally without any outside pushes, as with those pricecuts it's hard to make out a clear trend.

On the Playstation side of things, the Pro is still pretty consistently selling over 30% of total PS4 sales every day, with many days even above 40%. That's quite a bit more than some people thought, who expected it more to be around 20%. If the PS4 were to sell about 5M units in the US this year, that would mean that over 1.5M of them are Pro.

Edit: updated the total ratio in the chart above, completely forgot to do that before

Thanks.  I now see why so many people wanted the XB1X.  I look forward to seeing how it does next month.

Until everyone finishes blowing through their tax refunds.

*When you live in Canada and you won't probably receive it before the end of March*

*sigh*

In Luxembourg we get ours during Summer or early Fall, but we also have until end of April to fill out our forms with all the data from the previous year. So normally it's either spent on a summer holiday trip or, if late, holiday season gifts

S again sells about as much as the other ones combined. Maybe the Tax returns are too small to afford one of the upgrade consoles? At least they are consistently selling a lot less good compared to their base models right now.

Also Tax returns only happen in Luxembourg if you paid too much, which is rare unless the tax law just changed. But then like I said they pay you back in or after summer.

Last February update. This one should be a confortable win for Switch. I would not bet on second place though...
