Forums - Sales - Global Hardware Feb 14-20 - PS5 Sells Over 200,000, XSX|S Over 100,000

Wman1996 on 04 March 2021

PS5 is really close to Switch in Europe this week. It only sold about 5,000 less units. I know Switch isn't that easy to find, but I'd reckon it's still easier to find than a PS5.
Even if the Switch is in a class by itself, we'll see if Sony will continue to dominate Europe as the PS5 gets easier to find.

Also, Switch is very close to 80 million and Xbox One is very close to 50 million.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

If Series sells a similar amount next week then it's going to sell around 420k - 440k consoles in February compared to Xbox One's 259k in February 2014.

Almost certainly, yes, unless shortages hit like a freight train and they can't even ship 210k.

If Series' stock is not big enough by Week 17 they might lose that week to the Xbox One (Titanfall launched, they sold 148k consoles), but apart from that they should win any other week in 2021 against 2014's Xbox One.

Looks like is steadily declining while the x1 is steady. Even if all stays the same the series is bound to loose no matter what happens. As far as I'm aware there zero no games any time soon that would give it a boost. Specially nothing in the ranks of titanfall. 

I don't really understand this comment... 86k, 90k, 95k, 104k, 112k. Steadily declining? It's rather the opposite if we look at the numbers posted. I mean, apart from the post-launch and post-Holiday periods, the only decline happened the last week.



I'm mostly a lurker now.

Do you think we could get these graphs with the Switch line extending to weeks ahead to give us an idea of things to come. Like the ones in the Gap thread, example :

Have we ever considered just swapping to a brand comparison model, rather than specific consoles? Then we don't have to worry about weird generational issues and we can just easily know, between the big three, who sold the most consoles each week. If we did, they would look like this for this post:

*This combines 3DS + Switch, PS4 +PS5, and Xbox One + Series S/X

I can do that easily enough. I'll add the extra weeks now so I don't forget. 

Thanks trunkswd!
