Total Sales and Market Share for Each Year

Microsoft

• Xbox Series X|S
• 7.39 million units sold year-to-date
• Up year-on-year 1,610,245 units (+27.9%)
• Xbox One
• 0.04 million units sold year-to-date
• Down year-on-year 422,092 units (-92.0%)

Nintendo

• Nintendo Switch
• 14.28 million units sold year-to-date

Sony

• PlayStation 5

• PlayStation 4
• 0.45 million units sold year-to-date
• Down year-on-year 1,606,637 (-78.3%)

Switch needs to sell just over 2 million more by year's end to beat their 2018 total, and 5 million to beat 2019.
Barring a major tracking error or a lacklustre holiday, it's looking like Switch will lead the year in sales one last time before passing the mantle.

Pokemon really does a number on the hardware sales. I am mainly concerned, however with December as last year saw pretty much no growth in December. Do you think the PS5 or Xbox Series will win Black Friday (not counting Switch as I am pretty sure it will be 1st)?

I guess we will see a spike in PS4 sales soon. Sony gotta sell them somehow.

That's definitely not guaranteed, Black Friday, as well as NPD, are going to be a toss up.

this will be interesting.
