That is a pretty cool coincidence. I do wonder where Switch, PS5 & XSX will stand when everything is said and done!

Beautiful healthy sales for the video game industry.

Sayonara PSP.
Next week GBA, and in a matter of months PS3 and 360.

VGC Top Consoles 10 Weeks

NSW 2021 holding steady.  In this tracking, MHR will come in week 12, which means it'll line up face-to-face with ACNH launch week from NSW 2020.  Good chance it takes the lead over NDS that week and holds it for a while.

NSW '21 is doing extremely well.  It keeps pulling further ahead of DS '08, which was the DS's best year.  This does help me appreciate how well the DS was doing in early '07 though.  The DS was definitely a force to be reckoned with.  I'll be eager to see how NSW '21 compares to the other years once MHR releases.

FWIW, NDS 08 is a 53 week year on VGChartz (just like 2020).  Through 52 weeks, NDS 07 was indeed slightly ahead. 

That said, per Nintendo's FY shipments, NDS FY07 (04 07 - 03 08) was ~30M and NDS FY08 (04 08 - 03 09) was ~31M, so they are definitely neck-and-neck.

I think NSW 21 will take the #1 spot in the end.  Much stronger predicted SW lineup than last year and they had supply issues all year last year that they've now had time to prepare for (we're still seeing shortages, but not as bad).  If they can get the Pro revision out in Sep, I expect 33-35M.  If its a Nov release, maybe 30-32M.  If it gets pushed to next year then be right around 2020's range.

Switch: #1

PS5: #4

Xbox Series X/S: #15

You don't think the XBox Series will sell more than the XBox One in the end?

Edit - Please disregard my comment.  DroidKnight pointed out that taking these 3 new positions in the chart would in fact push the XBox One further down the chart below your prediction for the Series X/S.

I think that is showing the Series X ahead.  PS5 in 4th bumps the One down to 15th.  The Series X in 15th bumps the one even further down to 16th. I'm not sure though.

I'm really not sure how this year will turn out yet, other than I think Switch will have another really good year.  But I don't know if it will be up or down from 2020 yet.  It just seems incredible to me that a system could set the all time annual sales record in its 5th year.  At a certain point sales come down for every system, no matter how successful it is.

On the other hand, you make a lot of really good points.  All signs indicate that software releases will be stronger this year.  A new Switch model will definitely boost sales.  And most importantly, Nintendo should be much more prepared this year for Switch's high demand.  If Switch '21 outperforms last year, then it might be the last point that is the most important.  Who knows how much the Switch could have theoretically sold in '20 if Nintendo had ample supply?  That is how I make sense of it anyway.  I can see '21 being up YoY, in the Switch's 5th year, just because of supply shortages in '20.
