Sony and Microsoft had a decent month for restocking the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles in the UK in March 2021, according to the head of GamesIndustry.biz Christopher Dring via Twitter.
There was enough stock of the next-generation consoles to push the Nintendo Switch down to third place. All three platforms performed well in the UK last month.
"It was a decent month for re-stocking PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in the UK last month," said Dring. "As a result, Nintendo Switch was No.3 for the first time in forever. All three platforms continue to perform really well."
Dring did not state if the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S was the number one best-selling platform.

It’s more impressive considering this was Monsters Hunter Rise launch month.
MHR did release right near the end of the month though.
It begins...
...but not this year. Switch should sell 25M worldwide. I don't see PS5/Xbox selling over 20M in its first year.
That's a lot of projection based on two words. Why so insecure?
Welcome to VGC
Switch will sell 28 million this year
Not a surprise whatsoever lol if PS5 and Xbox Series X/S could get regular re-stocks in the U.S. it would be the same story, but it sounds like we might have yet another year of shortages.........
Don't forget that the Switch is still out of stock regularly at many US retailers. All 3 are supply constrained over there, though PS5 and Xbox Series do have it worse.
I've been to 3 different states, not including the one I reside in, and I've seen plenty of Switch consoles. I can't speak for the other 46 states, but I'm sure it's not hard to find a Switch. The other 2 is another story.
Well I was speaking mostly of online retailers, where it certainly is still an issue. And I would assume they make up the majority of sales in these days.
