Except for software this is a great week for PS/Xbox hardware.






PS5's best week since launch. Very impressive.



PS5 With the best week since launch but the Top ten still all switch. You would expect to see at least 1 PS5 game in the top ten but is not there yet.



Stock are here for PS5. That was true.

Awesome sales for PS5 hardware. Seems there was some differences again this week between Famitsu and MediaCreate for Xbox. Either way a spike in Series S hardware due to the price increase happening next week.



Hogwarts Legacy releasing next week should be massive for PS5. Too bad most of the sales are gonna be the digital deluxe edition which we can't see on the chart



I wonder what rank the highest PS5 game is. Really funny to see the top 10 all Switch, yet PS5 hardware outselling Switch by almost 40,000 units.



The PS5 is set to have the lowest tie ratio for a console in Japan, ever.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

There seems to be some confusion about the Switch software domination but I not really that confused. Consider this:

There are roughly 10x as many Switch units out in Japan as PS5 units. Even if the PS5 outsells the Switch for most of the year I would still expect the Switch to move more software.
