I have been getting much more intersted in seeing how sales are different from year to year with consoles. I am finding it very amazing.
PS4 lead over Switch- 10.21 million
Switch lead over PS5- 17.3 million
PS5 lead over xbox- 10.81 million
This is more of a personal speculation but if these percentages continue as so (PS5 at 3%, Switch at -22%, Xbox Series at -25%), which is unlikely but can be a possibility, by the end of the year for Europe the totals for the consoles should be around:
PS5: 8.2M
Switch: 3.42M
Xbox Series: 1.46M
Which sound like very sold numbers for PS5 and Switch.
