The data has already come out

I am working on the breakdown article and will have that up once it is done. Then I will work on our October estimates. Looks like we got decent amount of data this month. 

NS2 sold 328K. In terms of dollar sales PS5 is down 22%, XS is down 37%, and NS1 is down 52%. All 3 are more expensive this year than last year so units sold will be down more than that for all 3.

Edit - oh, that's dollar sales, not unit sales. Disregard then.

I think the PS5 will sell significantly more in Europe this year compared to the United States. But that's great because the PS5 is further behind the PS4 in Europe than in the United States.

Its more the fact that the launch of Switch 2 is a bigger deal in the US than in Europe. In the US, Switch 2 is a credible alternative to PS5 sales this year, while Switch 2 has mostly spent the last few months by being comfortably outsold by PS5 in Europe.
