Whether Switch has a shot at dethroning the DS will come down pretty much solely to how long it's supported for. If it's not replaced til 2024 (and is properly supported til then) it may very well come out on top.

DS will be tough, to be honest I'm not sure if Switch can outsell it.

I'm not sure how, but these Switch vs. PS4 charts got changed to PS5 vs. PS3.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

The Xbox Series X|S launched in November 2020, while the Xbox 360 launched in November 2005 in North America and December 2005 in Europe and Japan. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.
XSX|S Vs. X360 Worldwide: Gap change in latest month: 36,669 – XSX|S Total Lead: 1,920,930 – XSX|S Xbox Series X|S Total Sales: 5,217,300 Xbox 360 Total Sales: 3,296,370 May 2021 is the seventh month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox Series X|S when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox 360 by 36,669 units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently ahead by 1.92 million units. The Xbox Series X|S has sold 5.22 million units in six months, while the Xbox 360 sold 3.30 million. million units. Month seven for the Xbox Series X|S is May 2021 and for the Xbox One is May 2006. The Xbox Series 360 did not reach current Xbox Series X|S sales until month 13 where it had sold 5.94 million units. The Xbox 360 crossed 10 million units sold in month 19, 20 million in month 34, and 30 million in month 43. The Xbox 360 sold 85.81 million units lifetime. |
Looking good for Xbox Series so far but the 360 had very long legs and a late peak, so XS has its work cut out for it staying ahead in the long term, it would be a near miracle if it sold more lifetime.
Yeah, short of a $250/$200 PS4 which is becoming less and less likely, PS3 and 360 got this. For all its sales power during its prime, PS4's late life legs aren't living up to its predecessors, and Xbone is already a non-factor.

Again, because they are not dropping the prices .. Xbox one should get price drop last year to 199$ or even 149$ for the base model and the PS4 at least tp 199$. Then XB1 would do at least 1 or even 2M more, and PS4 at least some 5M more units. |
I'm pretty sure Xbox One has gone on sale for $199 and even less numerous times.

Now that we are far off along in Generation 8, I think it is become clear that PS+XBox did not sell higher in Generation 8. It simply sold faster.
Why? My best explanation has to do with the Wii (and also hardware prices). The Wii sold really well for about the first 4 years which is also the time period where Generation 8 was gaining ground on Generation 7 in these charts. After that the Wii sold poorly, while PS3+XBox360 came down to that $300 sweet spot that really drove sales. Based on these charts I'd say about 25m people bought a Wii during the first few years of Gen 7 and then transitioned over to one of the other consoles after the first few years.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Yes.. only sometimes when some retail decides so .. only in some regions I am talking about worldwide official price cut. Remember 2009 ones ? when they annouce official pricecuts for both consoles worldwide the sales just explode. That I am talking about. Of course in this point in time they will not explode such massive but still, official permanent worldwide pricecut have much bigger effect than some small temporary pricecut for only some stores in only some country. |
I just don't think there's any real demand left for the Xbox One, it was never a really popular console even at its peak, and now its replaced, including by a $300 version of its successor.

The holiday periods between the Switch and 3DS lineup, however, the Wii U holiday is offset from the Switch.

The Switch is 3.18 million units behind the 3DS and Wii U. |
Almost there now; should overtake in the August comparison charts. Once this and maybe some others are finished, could we please get an Xbox Series vs 3DS chart? I think that'd make for a very interesting one.
