Good sales for Switch and PS5 and another terrible week for Xbox.

PS5 is now less than 11k behind the PS2's 2005 which if it overtakes that it'll move from being the best YTD for a PS Home Console since 2005 to the best since 2003, a two decade high. It's unlikely to happen in the next few weeks as PS2 has two 42k weeks next but with FFXVI coming in week 26 there's a very good chance PS5 overtakes it around that time.



any chance the ps5 will reach 5 million units by the end of the year?



nice week indeed for Switch, if it can hold one for 1 more and than it is Zelda time!



Switch!!!

If you mean lifetime then yes it has a chance. It would need 2.6m this year to reach that.

It's really very difficult to predict what the PS5 is going to do in Japan at the moment but currently I'd predict a wide range of 2.2m-2.8m this year.

Next week is the release of the Zelda OLED Switch so it will certainly see an increase in sales.

i think it only needs 1.6 for the rest of the year to get to 5 mil.

It's worth noting that after 17 weeks of 2023 the PS5 has already outsold 2021.

He said 2.6 this year not the rest of the year. Meaning 2.6 total for the year.
