It was looking pretty bleak there for PS5, as majority of 22 it was trailing behind 21. Then the first of December hit and it now shows as being ahead by 3.2% from last year.
XB has been ahead of 21 throughout the entirety of 22 so they have had a really great year so far.
23 will be a banner year for both while Switch will continue its downward slide like it has been doing the last couple of years.

So Xbox will should get to just about 11.0m this year which is decent. PS5 won't hit 15m so it's still experiencing growing pains. Switch should finish probably right at 20.0m which is lower than expected when the year started but Switch sales have finally been coming down to earth this year as it is in its later years now.

They really should have released a Switch Pro that offered "docked" performance in handheld mode, a couple of years ago. It wouldn't have even been a hassle for developers, as it wouldn't even be a third performance level to target.

Now it's too late to do that, as it wouldn't be enough of a performance increase for a new Switch revision.
