PS5 finally takes the market share lead. Nintendo must be happy though, only a 14 percent decline for the year so far. Was expecting 20+ percent without any new AAA game for the early year (last year was Pokemon Arceus).

Happy New Year for PS5! It's due to the fact that they have more stock this year.
