I haven't seen a Series X or PS5 in a store here in Stockholm since they were released, same story online. Now that I'm actually looking for one, I find it quite annoying.

On Amazon Germany the OLED Switch currently costs 427€ and third party sellers ask upwards of 439€. The standard model on the other hand goes for an all time low of 277€. Heavy OLED shortages, not so much for the other models.

I don't understand why you still have Xbox selling more than PS5 in the USA. After January NPD PS5 win the Xbox SS has shown to not be a high demand product to make up for SX not being stocked. PS5 was restocked 3 times in January....SX 2 times. SS sales aren't good enough to make up for that. PS5 has more stock and more demand.

So far for February PS5 was restocked on February 10th at target. No SX stock yet.

I expect when PS5 gets more stock this month it will give it the lead again for February. Yes over the Switch too.

This is just the first week of February. There was very little stock of PS5 or Series X. While Series S is readily available. The PS5 restock will show up in the next update. 

Ok but the SS doesn't make up that much for SX sales. SS has been in stock for months.

That has been pretty much the situation worldwide for the PS5 and Series X since launch. 

Yeah, it's quite extraordinary. But I see Series S in practically every store I go to, I'd love to see a breakdown of the actual numbers of units from X and S.

As someone who has worked in retail, I can tell you that something being in stock all the time does not at all mean that it’s struggling to sell, at least not necessarily. Our highest volume items would get weekly and sometimes daily stock replenishment. 

The overwhelming majority of current Xbox sales are going to be the Series S precisely because it is on store shelves when nothing else is

I'm thinking the ss was only in demand during the hollidays as people really needed anything at all. Now we are back to it being in readyly available everywhere. Its the only console ive ever seen in a store. I also dont get why they insist on having the xbox in the us above the ps5. 



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

This is the peak for Xbox Series in Japan so far, isn't it? 6k is a lot there.
RIP PS4 in Japan, only 9 this week apparently. Switch continues to dominate globally, as expected.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

So what you're saying is since the Series S is in stock that means it's not selling well? An item doesn't need to be sold out to sell well.

XS selling 50% more than PS5 in the Americas is quite something.
It's even not that far behind in Europe/Sonyland.
Much more competitive gen than last for sure.
