Great work as always @XtremeBG

Will you also make a chart for the Switch 2 next month or do you want to wait a bit before you start a new comparison chart?

Chart with only 1 month, and lifetime at the same time does not make sense. I will wait a bit with that for this thread.

However @Bofferbrauer2 I added new competitors to it alongside a chart, in my Japan thread. You can check it out.

Sorry for the late update, I was on vacation. All comparisons have been updated and adjusted with the data for June! Comparisons for the Switch 2 will be replacing those for the Switch 1 (which will be added to my archive thread named Historical Consoles Showdown) starting next year.

Charts will be updated once the August data is released!

• Switch slowly approaches the DS, with only less than 2.5M units left to pass it which may become reality in this holiday season!
• PS5 and Xbox Series fails to grow or maintain the gap with the DS, and are now less than 6M ahead of it, from 17M+ at their peak point.
• PS5 continues to be neck in neck with PS4, with slightly over 3M deficit, which can be easily closed in the holidays or next year with GTA VI.
• Xbox Series goes as low as 120k per month, marking it's lowest point yet, and falling even further below the US sales of the Wii.

PS2 vs Switch Updated Chart

So long as Switch 2 is in shortage, Switch systems are gonna continue moving. I see NSW v. DS reaching its conclusion in December. Only ~2.68mil remains.

Thank you!

What's your guess of PS5's global estimates December 31st, 2026?

I think GTA6 could lift it up to 98-101m units sold-through globally until then, depending in which month GTA6's going to be released.

I think it will be at around 88M after 2025 is done, and around 102-103M with 2026.
