NPD August 2022 (PS5 #1 In Dollar & Unit Sales)

[Heisenberg007]

Low-key surprised that Xbox was #3 in the US, behind both PS and Switch, only because the US is the strongest market for Xbox. But it also kinda makes sense that Switch and PS5 are more popular.

Glad to see that PS5 stocks are finally on the up. Based on my analysis and Sony's forecasts, I don't think this train will stop now. The worst is past Sony, the stock situation will continue to improve each passing month, culminating into a mammoth generation for Sony.

Just think a bit about...

Xbox is selling more than PS5 the last three quarters... it is near a whole year selling more than PS5 but it couldn't overcome the initial sales advantage PS5 had in the first 6 months of life.
That is obvious to me that even selling better than PS5 it was in the low-end ant not the high-end.

I mean the PS5 dropped it sales to Xbox levels due supply issues and not that Xbox increased sales to PS5 levels.
It is the strongest Xbox territory and it sales are just that.

Seems like Xbox is at it limit of sales in US... whatever it is good or not is questionable because it looks good compared with Xbox One but not compared with 360 (it probably won't reach 360 numbers in US well probably no console will reach 40 million in US this gen... Switch has the big chances).

In my estimates the actual situation in US:

PS5: ~10 million
Series: ~8.5 million

Ratio around 1.2:1.
