So it took Xbox One more than a year at least. Let me go look up the exact figure. 

Edit: XB1 passed 83k the week of November 12th 2017, so it took Xbox One more than 3 years to hit 83k, compared to less than 1 year for Xbox Series. 

That's a cool graph. Xbox 360 got a huge bump around holiday 2006. I think the Xbox Series could have that big bump this holiday as well.

The X360 got that bump due to the release of the exclusive JRPG Blue Dragon.

Go Go Xbox!

Good to see Xbox Series keeping up the good numbers.

It only needs around 32k to outsell the Xbox One. If it keeps the pace, it can do it in 6-8 weeks.

There's about 17 weeks left in the year.



XS is selling excessingly well compared to the XBO in Japan

5 third party Switch games in the top ten.

Switch hardware just gotta tough it out for another month and a bit til the OLED hits.



If you would've told me back in 2018 that the next Xbox would outsell the Xbox One LT in a year while being supply constrained in Japan I would've laughed in your face.

Hitman 3 performed alright, retailers expected better though, with that low sell through.

Trails into Reverie sold way better than Cold Steel I and II. Expected, since it's just a year old.



Do we know how PS5 compares to PS4 at this point?
