And here I was hoping for a 750k week, just under 6k shy. Still impressive numbers no doubt though. Also large increase for the PS5 and I think the Series X is up a decent percentage WoW

There were small adjustments upward made to PS5 and Series X|S as we got some new data from the UK and RoW. But yes, both consoles are up WoW.

I think we should rename the Switch to “ The Beast”

Big number for switch.

And launch aligned, the gap between PS4 and PS5 is now about just 30K.

Great numbers all around. MHR has had a big impact on Switch sales.

Is it the first time in the history of this industry that a console has an almost systemic supply issue 4 years after its release?
Switch is incredible

Mainly in Japan is where the extra PS5 stock was sent. in Japan, PS5 sales went from 34K to 62K. In the US, sales went from 62K to 70K. Sales remained relatively flat in Europe.
