Xbox and PS5 dueling it out so far this year. Didn't realize PS5 only did 12.5mil last year, that's quite low, though I guess chip supply crushed their holiday season.
Switch currently outsells PS5 and Xbox Series combined while entering its 6th year.

Series being the only one up YoY is certainly a surprise.
Microsoft’s strategy for the launch window was focusing on the Series X, and combined with the fact production started later than they originally wanted, the first few months of 2021 they had very few consoles to sell. Most of their produced consoles are now the Series S, so they are having a much easier time getting consoles to store shelves this year.
The Series S is the only system among the 9th-gen PS/XB variations that I can just walk into a store in my area and buy at MSRP.
In my city it's just the opposite, you can't find an xbox. With PS5 there's a more constant supply, although with the demand there is, they sell out in minutes... Damn covid.
