VGChartz Methodology: Hardware estimates are based on retail sampling and trends in individual countries, which are then extrapolated to represent the wider region. This typically allows us to produce figures that end up being within 10% of the actual totals.
This data is regularly compared against official shipment figures released by the console manufacturers and figures estimated by regional trackers with greater market coverage than ourselves. We then update our own estimates to bring them into line with those figures. This can result in frequent changes often within a short space of time, but we feel it's important to prioritise accuracy over consistency.
Note that our estimates are based on sell-through data (units sold to consumers). In almost all cases the figures released by console manufacturers are based on shipment data (sell-in), where as soon as a device has left the factory and entered the supply chain for delivery it is considered a sale. This is why there is always a difference between the companies’ figures (sell-in) and VGChartz estimates (sell-through), even after we’ve made adjustments. The one exception to that is when a console has been discontinued and the remaining stock has finally sold out – at that point the figures will match.

~NSW pulling off miracles. Closer to 1mil than it is 500k this month. These kinds of sales figures are what'll send Switch to 13.5mil this fiscal year, and seeing how the new Zelda is shaping up, I have suspicion that the Switch might come very close...assuming the successor is not revealed until after the holiday season has finished. (Though w/out price cut, I still percieve this figure as being unattainable.)
~XBSX is struggling with only 300k this month...may not even hit 1mil this quarter. Though I believe it's still up MoM, no? Or am I getting numbers mixed up?
~PS5 hitting 1mil is good news! First time pulling this off since March. Was a little worried with April/May figures being as low as they were, but this is very reassuring.
All-in-all, not a bad month for video game sales. With a powerful Nintendo Direct, Elden Ring expansion, and AstroBot, this month really had everything set up so as to see a big boost compared to prior months. Consumer confidence in Switch seems strong again, and interest in the industry seems closer to normal levels again.
This is a 5 week month vs. The previous 4 week months, so the numbers are actually all a bit worse than they look.
I see. That makes more sense, though weekly figures still seem pretty good nonetheless. Especially for NSW and XBSX following their respective showcase events.
Considering Sony barely showed anything worth seeing outside Astro, I would say PS5 is doing Marvelous.
Switch for King. let's hope the Zelda lite in September can push this over the million mark again! and get Switch over 160millions soon
Don't know why when there's nothing to play
Which one?
