Global hardware estimates (Followed by lifetime sales):

1. Switch - 291,028 (107,658,326)
2. PlayStation 5 - 155,598 (19,619,874)
3. Xbox Series X|S - 136,953 (14,565,738)
4. PlayStation 4 - 12,836 (116,841,694)
5. Xbox One - 698 (50,526,305)

Looks more or less normal. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the weeks in may look like this or maybe a little lower. I'm not sure how many exciting releases we will get before E3 time (or whatever the equivalent is this year).

PlayStation 4 slowly but surely crawling to 117 million

Week-over-week sales dropped across the board. The week before saw a huge boost for Switch in Japan and after 2 strong weeks of PS5 sales in Europe there was less stock in mainland Europe. Though, PS5 sales remained decent in UK. May has so far seen far fewer PS5 and Series X stock available than in March and April. Series S being readily available is helping Xbox keep a base with its sales.

This! Should show on the top page as it was before ..

As I am not a coder I can't do anything about that. You can still see the yearly sales here. https://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php?reg=Global&ending=Yearly

Playstation back on top in Europe.

Ah crap that is a typo. I had PS5 and Switch swapped. 

Oh lmao

My bad. PS5 was on top the previous week and forgot to swap the names of the consoles when I wrote this week's breakdown.
