Hardware sales

XBox Series gets another big shipment to Japan, of both X and S models. PS5 version of GoT:DC outsells PS4 version at launch. Clearly no Switch sweep of top 30 this week.

XBS is massive this week. 7.4% of it's total sales in one week.

Surprisingly great hold for the Switch and up YoY too.
XBS demand must be pretty big, maybe we'll see a few 10k+ weeks in the holidays.
GoT selling better on PS5 is great.

Great sales for Xbox.

PlayStation/Sony have the best selling game of the week for a change. Got was already a big hit last year.

Big jump for the XS.

It would have been interesting to know how many PS5 are sent off to China (and potentially South-east Asia), and what the actual baseline for the Xbox is since it's selling out as soon as the shipments come in. It feels like without those issues, Xbox sales wouldn't be much lower than Playstation in Japan anymore.

If this is happening to Playstation, I think the same question has to be asked for Xbox. Same in regards to the PS5's real demand without stock issues. Both are selling everything they ship

Great week for Xbox

Xbox sales are practically half of PS5 sales.

This is the biggest week since launch week for Xbox Series X|S at 5782. Xbox is doing way better than last gen.
