[PS5] 500k
[NS] 440k
[XBS] 250k

Nintendo wins units sold and PS5 wins revenue. I forgot that TotK Switch launched in April not May!
Switch and PS5 are up double digits over last year offsetting losses by Xbox.

Great job on anyone who predicted the Switch to be the best-selling console of the month.

Woah ! I wonder how close the hardware numbers could've been between the PS5 and Switch cuz unless the PS5 stocks were less than usual or demand has simply gone down, or the Zelda effect truly was a behemoth for the Switch hardware sales, I can't understand what happened here.

Now with the gargantuan release of TOTK, Imma also predict a comfortable win for the Switch on May hardware wise.

Sounds like PS5 would have been #1 if it wasn't for the Zelda OLED model.

OP updated with full breakdown article. Americas estimates should be out later today. Will take some time to work through the numbers.

Switch with the suprise win! Kind of sounds like PS5 was down significantly compared to previous months though looking at the hardware revenue, but it's still up compared to last year so that's something.
