In America the 3 are very similar. I was surprised by the ps5 in Europe
i think week 89 is the last week the Series has any chance of being above the Switch in terms of sales. After that... Switch took a huge boost upwards that neither PS5 nor Series can likely catch.
This is over already.
we all now the end of the lifecycle, xbox will be much closer this time!
yeah, the Switch won, easily.
Switch is not in the same market. Portable handheld versus home consoles. Let's be honest. I don't think Xbox and PS buyers even consider the Switch for the most part.
it's not a home console
the VITA and the PSP were the same, could be connected to the TV and nobody cared lol, because Sony had two different products
the genius of Nintendo is failing in the home console market and then you don't have a CHOICE so people actually started connecting their portable to their TVs
