Totally forgot about Prime Day

Totally forgot about Prime Day

My bank account keeps reminding me after the fact.



Were there some adjustments?



Xbox Series (15.79) is about to outsell the PS Vita (15.82). It's likely to happen next week.

PS5 (21,25) is about to catch the GameCube (21.74). A couple of weeks to go.



Switch is up in the 300k+ range. All of the main 3 systems are up WoW. Looks like a good week overall.

Good sales across the board this week.
Switch only being down 3.4% from this week last year is excellent given how strong last year was.



Nice to see both the PS5 and Switch slowly reducing the percent gap compared to 2021. Xbox has been losing its lead but it's still up almost a third which is really nice.



All Time Video Game Hardware Sales List:

2) Nintendo DS (DS) - 154,020,000 

3) Game Boy (GB/GBC) - 118,690,000

4) PlayStation 4 (PS4) - 116,965,109 (117,000,000+ according to Sony) - Mar. 31st, 2022

5) Nintendo Switch (NS) - 110,405,700 (107,650,000 according to Nintendo) - Mar. 31st, 2022



PS5 + Xbox Series sales combined are still down YOY, but hopefully that changes as PS5 claws back its deficit and XS continues to show strong growth.

Also just noticed; total hardware YTD is actually up over 2019, largely thanks to Xbox Series being up by around 2.5 million compared to its predecessor.
