What were the lifetime sales for the PS4 and Xbox One launch aligned at this point?
PS4 sales were at 27.01M units and the Xbox One sales were at 14.26M for a gap of 12.75M.
It's crazy that the PS4 had already almost doubled up the Xbox One by that point.
My current end of year predictions for PS5 is being around 30 million lifetime, and for Xbox Series X|S around 22 million lifetime.
Depends on stock availability, but those predictions will likely be fairly close.
