All systems are gaining and that's with a massive shortage. Imagine when supply is no longer an issue, we could see Switch sales fall off faster than it did for the Wii. We used to call it the cliff, but I prefer the SWiitch!

The Switch is not like the Wii no matter how badly you seem to want that to happen. It's still a popular game console despite the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

You are right, this looks like a cliff, an upwards cliff. Just imagine how massive this would look, if Switch wasn't hit by semiconductor shortages.



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

my greatest games: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

We all know 360 was a late bloomer, so Series should stay ahead for at least the first 3-4 years.



Switch: SW-3707-5131-3911
XBox: Kenjabish

I'll be shocked if Xbox Series S/X lands even close to 360 in lifetime sales frankly, unless something drastically changes. It will outsell Xbox One, but the 360 was a monster and had weaker competition.



If it looks poor for Xbox Series now, wait til we align with Switch's 2020 peak.

That said, Xbox doesn't need to sell as much as Switch to be successful, after Xbone I'd be impressed if it passes 70 million.

Agreed, Xbox will never catch up to Switch worldwide.  A more interesting comparison may be sales in the US between the two.  Not sure if trunks is doing that yet or not.

Agreed, the US could be an interesting contest.

As I say, my measure for the success of XS is how much growth it can manage over its predecessor. Since 3DS is the next system up in sales from Xbone that we have tracking data for, that's the comparison I'd love to see.



Switch continues to gain ground on PS4.
11.5 million is one heck of an aligned lead.



I still find it remarkable just how close PS4 + Xbone's total will end up to PS3 + 360. Pretty much just the ratio changed.



Well, that's all she wrote. Was fun to watch while it lasted.
Looking forward to seeing some new charts replace the old.
