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.

Good numbers for the Switch 1, considering this is the month of the release of its successor
I think the Switch 1 will continue to sell well even into the Switch 2 generation. Its price point and the appeal of a handheld device with such a vast library still make it a great value; especially for children.
One word: Lite
Not only that, but Nintendo did say they have more games coming to the Switch 1.
The Series X/S casually dropping 49.7% year on year in its strongest territory before it’s even 5 years old.
Series X/S were upwards of $100 cheaper same time last year. MS performed console suicide in the name of not subsidizing.
To my understanding Nintendo has never subsidize their consoles all that much. Maybe Sony still does.
Mr. $700 console with no disk drive? I doubt it.
That's what happens when you increase the price of your consoles $80 - $100. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if most Xbox's sold now are the Series S since the Series X is $550+.
I'd really love to see a YT documentary somewhen about how the hell the Series generation went the way it did from back in Fall 2020.
Damn, what's to say. This is an absolute massive success for the Switch 2, unbelievable.
X|S down year-on-year a whopping -50% is also just unbelievable, just the other way around.
Gee, I really wonder how the Series are gonna survive 2026 at this drop rate.
Could Gta 6 and the new Gears/Halo increase or sustain sellls?
