So pretty much like PS4/One situation

I'm thinking that is the lowest end, with a decent chance to be a bit higher. I expect the Xbox Series X|S to end up outselling the Xbox One with its stronger 1st-party lineup of games. Though, I don't see it coming that close to the Xbox 360's ~85M. So something like 60M-70M lifetime for Xbox Series X|S.

While The PS5 I see selling around what the PS4 sold. It is behind the PS4, but I see the gap to continue to close over the coming months with PS5 stock being much stronger now. So PS5 around 110M-125M lifetime.

So combined I am thinking 170M-195M.

Combined it has to be closer to 195.  All my predictions for the last 2 years are based on it, lol.

According to this latest VGChartz estimate the Xbox Series X|S has Surpassed the Master System. Next Target: Gamecube.

I wonder if they'll ever expand notably beyond that or if the growth of stuff like cloud gaming will keep that from happening.

It seems that sales in Europe and Especially in The Americas will be higher in March compared to February this year for the PS5.

Will be interesting to see what’s the effect of the Mario Bundle for the Switch WW, what is clear is that April will be Down a lot in preparation for the Zelda TOTK launch in May.

Thank you very much, @trunks! :)

I was really excited to see the worldwide estimates for February. Almost 1.8m monthly? PS5 just knocked the ball out of the park. So amazing!

This week was also the first time I had personally seen a PS5 (GoW bundle) at a local retailer, it was actually three of them. When I had entered the store, a guy openly carrying his newly purchased PS5 had left it and you could see the "Oh yeah, that's a PS5 in my hands, envy?" look in his eyes. ;D

I actually fall a bit short of an explaination why XSXS estimates are at a 3:1 ratio compared to PS5. I truly liked sales of both being relatively close to eachother in the past.

However, I am super excited about 2023 being the year in which estimates/sales significantly increase even outside Nov/Dec. And being the year in which PS4 and One versions of games are finally put to rest.

According to an article just a day or two ago, PS5's and XSXS' new graphical pipeline capabilities also haven't been really touched so far and developers are not yet finished/maybe haven't really started yet building those new engine's frameworks.

I am thrilled to see the first real titles brute forcing/cleverly use the power of PS5 and XSXS.

Sony is outselling them by 3x and I still can’t buy a Series X at normal price in Sweden. Someone at MS fucked up hard.

PS5 Outsells Nintendo 64

Sony's latest video game console, the PlayStation 5,which is part of the ninth generation of video game consoles, has outsold the lifetime sales of the Nintendo 64, according to VGChartz estimates. 

The PS5 had sold an estimated 33.54 million units worldwide through February 2023, while the Nintendo 64 sold 32.93 million units lifetime.

Up next for the PS5 is the Sega Genesis with 34.06 million units sold, followed by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) with 49.10 million units sold and the Xbox One with 51.26 million units sold.

Breaking down sales by region, the PS5 has sold an estimated 14.24 million units in North America, 10.26 million units in Europe, 2.98 million units in Japan, and 6.06 million units in the rest of the world. This compared to the Nintendo 64, which sold 20.11 million units in North America, 6.35 million units in Europe, 5.54 million units in Japan, and 0.93 million units in the rest of the world.

Breaking down PS5 Europe sales, the console has sold an estimated 2.52 million units in the UK, 1.66 million units in Germany, and 1.48 million units in France.

Sony Interactive Entertainment did announce it had shipped 32.1 million PlayStation 5 consoles as of December 31, 2022. With 32.1 million PlayStation 5 consoles shipped through the end of December 2022 that means 7.1 million units were shipped from October to December. This is up 3.2 million from the same quarter in 2021.

For reference, the PlayStation 4 had shipped 8.4 million units in the same quarter for a lifetime total of 37.7 million units shipped as of December 31, 2015. This puts the PS5 behind shipped PS4 units by 5.6 million units.

The PlayStation 5 launched in November 2020.
