Added a table to OP for tracking each famitsu week.

Nice with the table. Xbox isn't off to a great start it seems, but Switch is up slighly YoY and the PS5 is up by a lot.

Updated table.

Halfway point, but we still have some good weeks left.

Nice to see the XBS rebound and strong sales for PS5 and Switch.

PS5 and XBS halfway to their record years. (Launch)

Switch about 1/3 of its record year.



Updated to Week 50. 3/4 of the way done.

If things don't change soon, it looks like Switch and PS5 will be pretty close to quite a few of our predictions.

XBS sadly disappoints.



Okay week 52 is out now and with that we can tally up the predictions.

Total:

Switch- 1,161,869
PS5- 311,631
XBS- 22,724

Average Prediction
Switch- 1,265,000 (108%)
PS5- 273,125 (87%)
XBS- 87,500 (385%)

Best Switch Predictor- Kneetos and rapsuperstar31 (99%)
Best PS5 Predictor- Kneetos and yo33331 (96%)
Best XBS Predictor- Farsala (41%)
Best Overall Predictor- Kneetos

Basically we were all very wrong about how the XBS situation would pan out with the average prediction almost 4x as much as it actually did. Most people overestimated Switch's potential for this holiday with Pokemon, and most people underestimated PS5s potential with Sony's past stock situation.

Overall Kneetos was the best predictor for 2 out of 3 consoles and with the higher volume selling consoles at that. So, congratulations to @Kneetos.

PS5 really started sprinting those last two weeks. I wouldn't be suprised if it has a few more great weeks left heading into January. Either way that was quite a turn around.

I was quite close with the Switch. The other two surprised in opposite ways.
