Nice to see the PS5 still hold a slight lead over the PS4, all things considered. Based on Sony's projections, it looks like the PS5 will stay ahead of the PS4 for a while.

Nice to see Xbox Series continuing to fare better than its predecessor. It does seem like a better console, and once they finally get some games out I'm optimistic their expanded first party studios can provide it with a better lineup.

If I'm looking at this right, it appears that every month by the Switch since March '20 has been over 1.5M, which is higher than any non-holiday month that PS4 or XBox One achieved during the entire timeframe of this graph. That's pretty amazing.

The Wii fought hard, but the Switch simply has more stamina.
By the end of the year, Wii may well be overtaken.

Hopefully by now Xbox have adjusted their manufacturing ratio to make more of the X and less of the S.
The latter is sitting unsold on shelves around the world while the X is snapped up instantly.

I remember some people saying that for Switch to outsell the PS4 would depend on Nintendo support.

Now it looks like it's just a matter of time.

Switch looks on track to surpass PS4's total sales in holiday 2022, with this year tracking to be close to 2020 in terms of Switch sales, next year's lineup looking strong already, and PS4 having slowed to a crawl.

@curl-6 The Switch might even pass the Game Boy before the PS4 surpasses the Game Boy (assuming the PS4 does surpass it, which I still consider to be likely, especially with a lot of big PS5 games also releasing on PS4 into 2022).

Yeah i still expect PS4 will pass the Gameboy, it only has to sell another 2.9 million, and since I don't expect it to be discontinued until 2023 or later, I think it can inch its way there.

Isn't PS5 vs PS3 just cruel towards PS3? PS5 is gonna crush it right from the start and never look back.
