I was a little surprised by Xbox low numbers, but the YOY drop is finally small compared to previous months and I'm more surprised that X1 was doing a lot worse aligned.
PS5 numbers seem quite healthy.

Good work. I thought the gap would be smaller between PS5 and Series in USA for July with Starfield so near to launch.

Just a small correction. It is impossible for the sales of Series to be down 934.1%

PS5 sold good in Europe and Japan, but numbers are disappointing for USA. Probably why it also gets a price cut there. The 25 million targets gets further out of sight quickly, after all the 6 million shipped in Jan to March don't count and had a negative effect on April to June shipments. Oh well selling around 1.1 to 1.2 million a month isn't bad.

Member Astral_lion02 from InstallBase has access to CESA 2023 white paper that has yearly NPD data from 2012 to 2022, he has very kindly shared this data

Yeah, 100% confirmed now. 

It seems that for August the numbers will be huge in America and Europe with the promotions in the UK and Germany early in the month and the current promotion in France alongside the €449 PS5 disc promotion starting this coming Friday.

Numbers could be higher than 1.5m for August.
