Imagine what GTA6 is gonna do for consoles, and finally the switch is finally falling off. switch 2 taking too long is really killing the momentum for Nintendo.

Switch still have a couple of big releases, but at this point, I'm not sure how much it can help. It would be great if Switch 2 were to be released later this year to take advantage of the holidays while Switch 1 is fading. I don't know what's Nintendo plan.
Xbox did really good this month, let's see how the holidays are going to play out.
Since I don't know the reasons why some months get delayed, I can't really make any statement.
With the one exception that it's always a bit disappointing knowing new data won't come along for over a whole month.
Putting this aside, I am really over-whelmed by all July numbers. This is great, especially for Xbox and Playstation.
I am actually pumped up even more now for the last quarter of this year. Can't wait for October, November and December.
Xbox has a pretty decent line-up. And Playstation is still rumored to announce the Pro, not to mention what their marketing plans all around their 30th anniversary will look like, maybe even flanked by a Showcase and a price drop for PS5 Slim models.
I am excited!
EDIT:
Congrats to the near perfect accuracy of all your estimates @trunkswd & team of VGC! It's amazing!

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

There's a been a long break. The last College Football game by EA was NCAA Football 14. So this is the first one they've done in 11 years.
As a European I have no idea what the massive difference is between College Football and NFL but there we go.

I mean, it's the first generational transition of the current CEO and Nintendo has a story of messing them up so I get why they are being very cautious about it. No pandemic or easy ports of Wii U titles to help them this time around.
Still, damn, I want that 3D Mario already.
If I remember correctly last month Switch was 1.1 million behind PS2 in the US. So now only 850K? It looks like it's going to catch it in 5-6 months.

I didn't realize there was a long break. I can say that College Football is extremely popular in certain parts of the US like the South East and Rustbelt regions.

My uncle bought a PS5 just for the College Football game. People gotta realize casuals on PS and XB tend to be sports fans.
