its really hardo to say, but very interesting.
i think:
1. PlayStation 5 (if the delivery bottlenecks are really completely over?)
2. switch
3. xbox
in the USA. but maybe last month, xbox number 2 - it is possible.

News starting to come out. PS5 1st in Revenue and Units sold as expected.

Rankings
Units: 1) PS5 2) Switch 3) XBS
Dollars: 1) PS5 2) XBS 3) Switch

Xbox actually beat Switch in revenue which is a surprise to me.

That likely means Xbox Series X|S sales isn't too far behind Switch, though we shall see when I run the numbers. PS5 must be well ahead of both of them. I'm just getting online now. I do plan on having the Americas estimates up later today.

But will they meet the insanely high shipping target? We already know they basically sold 3 million in January and February, which is really solid.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

PS5 set a PlayStation record for February. So sales for February in the US are >538K.

An absolutely monstrous month for PlayStation 5. That all-time record Q1 shipments is looking more and more possible.

That information does help quite a bit with me doing the estimates.

Massive month for the PlayStation 5! Even if Sony only manage to ship 5M this quarter, that would be higher than any non holiday month from the Switch, and would be the highest non holiday quarter for PlayStation consoles.

Also, The Last of Us charting in a revenue based chart is huge, since most copies of the game are at $10 - $20.
