They will drop hard but even just seeing how big the drop is for each one and seeing how the drops compare to last gen will be exciting. Also it'll show the first PS5 Europe sales so still a big week I think.

The demand for the PS5 blows the PS4 hype out the water! It's even more evident when you consider the majority of PS5's are being sold at $500. It could have sold 3 - 4 Million on launch week if they had enough supply to meet demand. 

I think the PS5 will sell more than the PS4 did by March 2014 by the end of this year.

Surprised to see how competitively close PS5 and XS are here in Oceania, even closer than North America.

Stock, stock, stock, stock, stock...

That's all the next 4-5months is really going to be about. I am more interested in how much stock sony can have for the PS5 by the end of march.

Would be interesting f they get it up to 10M by then.

That was a thing?

After the switch was released, and looking at how little impact it had on the PS4/XB1 sales... I have been saying and pushing that they are not directly competitive.

One is not doing well/better at the expense of the other.

And these new consoles are just confirming that too. I got a lot of flak on this forum for saying that the PS/Xbox platforms while in the same gaming business with the switch, aren't directly competitive.

Impressive Numbers from all 3 Fronts, The PS5 might actually outsell the PS4 if it Keeps the Momentum

I completely agree with regards to Switch not directly competing with PS4/Xbone; this could clearly be seen back in 2017 when PS4 had its best year in spite of Switch joining the fray.

There were a fair few people though, mostly fanboys to be fair, who insisted that Switch was only succeeding because it was "up against" older platforms and that once PS5 and the next Xbox arrived, Switch sales would collapse.

The PS5 launched in North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea for this week. The PS5 had a bigger launch in North America, Australia, and New Zealand than its predecessor, the PS4, while it had a smaller launch in Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Microsoft launched its next-generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and S, in 40 countries worldwide for the week. The consoles sold a combined 1,345,386 units worldwide in its launch week. This is a bigger launch than the Xbox One, which sold 1.1 million units in its first week, and is the biggest launch in Xbox history.  The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are expected to be severely supply constrained through at least early 2021 as any consoles that become available have been selling out in a matter of minutes.  The Nintendo Switch was the third best-selling console with sales of 722,176 consoles sold. This was followed by the PlayStation 4 with 116,301 units, the Xbox One with 45,288 units, and the Nintendo 3DS with 2,198 units.

Since we're a week behind, can you comment on how big of a boost AOC provided the Switch outside of Japan in Week 47?

KT confirmed ~3M shipped/digital for the launch weekend, which suggests ~2.3-2.8M sell-through, around 85-90% of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee performance (3M sell-through on launch weekend).  Except in this case, Japan is the much weaker market (JP physical representing 5-8% of total sales, compared to 22% for LGPE).  So US/Europe were massively strong (like 70% of SSBU opening, except in the week right before Black Friday), and I'd expect that to help boost hardware considerably.

I guess WOW is the only adequate comment.
Gratz PS5 and XBSX/S for their launches and gratz NS too for selling so well even during such great competitor launches.

What were Switch launch numbers?
