Good thing Europe is here to save the PS5's holiday season and potentially its entire 2026. It's about time they started pushing it super hard in the best region for Playstation. Also why isn't the 2008 November for the DS listed? That one was the record until the PS5 took it a couple years ago.

Oops added, all 14 tracked systems included now.

Does this counts Canada with a similar big drop?

If not, really can't see how it did so much worse, I never saw it being as successful here like it was this year.

2023 was the first year sales were noticed to be a lot higher (compared to a very small number before, very likely), and at least one big store announced a 6x sales increase from 2023 to 2024, so it probably sold well last year here as well, but on Amazon alone it sold around 50K here in Brazil, and it was selling well in many other places as well.

Yeah it includes Canada, so it's possible that Canada has a much bigger drop than Brazil and others and is dragging that YoY down.

Launch aligned the PS5 is 4.5m behind the PS4 in Europe. It was able to close the gap by a little over 1m in November.

If December holds well for PS5 I'd be tempted to bring back the PS5 vs PS4 monthly comparison article and drop some other comparison that ain't happening (XS vs X1 or PS5+XS vs PS4+X1)

That gap closing a lot will make up for it potentially losing its lead in the US within the next several months or so. I'd keep the PS5+XS vs PS4+X1 comparison going for another year at least since assuming no more delays there will be the impact of GTA 6's release by the end of the year and it should be known by then if the PS6 is coming out in 2027 or not and if it's not it'll get more interesting since the gap should close a lot after next year if it's 2028.

Amazon Brasil sold at the very least 42K, very likely quite a lot more because it was marking 30K and 10K for a while during the sales period, which means it reached that and kept selling more for some days.

That's only for Amazon Brasil.

Kabum is also a store that sells a lot too (they usually joke to say how many PS5 they sold and least year Black Friday it was "59 Eiffel Towers of PS5", which leads to a math for around 45K PS5 sold there last year, and this year discounts were a lot better.

There is also Mercado Livre selling a lot of PS5s (it was there that I bought mine years ago). And other big and popular stores like Magazine Luiza (the onwers of Kabum), Americanas, Ponto Frio etc.

I can't see how the PS5 sold less than 100K here in Brazil if Kabum alone had at least the same sales from 2024, which are likely higher this year IMO.

So Brazil is over 60% from the Americas - USA sales?

Here are the Amazon prints I took myself during the Black Friday weekeed (Brazillian Portuguese it's pretty easy to see the sales numbers):

I wonder if Nintendo has anything up their sleaves to increase the interest of Switch 2 in Europe, its basically selling like its an old system in Europe even though its brand new. Europeans for whatever reason care zero about Switch 2. The weak Switch 2 sales in the US and EU in November means pressure is more on Japan to deliver a strong December for Switch 2, because it will sell crap in the US and Europe this holiday.

The Switch 1's first November in Europe was 360k so what do you mean it's selling like it's an old system? It's selling like a new one and a relatively good new one at that since its peak November should surpass the PS3's landing it at 6th.

I mean Switch 2 is selling less than 1/4th of PS5 during November in Europe, they are basically playing the same insignificant role in Europe as PS5 plays in Japan in terms of market share.
