I imagine with SF6, Diablo 4 and then Final Fantasy XVI, that it will go back to PS5 over the next 3 months.....
Does Nintendo have anything coming?

With totk release, was expected. SM2 and FFXVI will turn things around.
Nah man. Totk is going to have insane legs. I don't see those 3 games moving the needle that much.
We're getting content droughts 3 years into the generation and PC ports, what did they expect.
No, Switch was top 1 that month because they had the only big selling launch of the year there. The rest of the year PS5 will continue dominating.
PS5 sales have slowed down immensely, many are still living in a bubble here it seems.
Proof? I'm not one to doubt much if the numbers bear it out, but one month of getting outsold in the UK isn't really indicative of anything. There were multiple months in both UK and US where N64 outsold PS1, did that really change things for the long-term?
What are the numbers compared to last month? Seems like Zelda is just doing its job for Nintendo
June is going to be an interesting month. But yeah Zelda is gonna make big numbers. Might give legs for Switch to get to DS/PS2 numbers?
But I see Spiderman 2 if not the others having highest sales for PS5 again
Pikmin, possibly a 4th quarter tent pole and Pokemon DLC. Those should sell well but won't move hardware.
The fact I didn't even know who this guy was until I saw a thread about them here. But sure... Some of y'all here are so immature lol.
PS5 sales slowing down doesn't mean it's getting outsold or losing. Based off observations of the last two months? Sales drop > 70% alone in the US from March to April. We see the decline in the UK the last two months, Spain same thing, Japan slow declines.
Unfortunately the industry has become cagey with sales, but based off what I've seen, sales sorta cratered a bit the last two months.
Sony of course is sleeping at the wheel. Can't even be arsed to make Special Edition PS5's for FF 16 across Japan and Europe to reignite the sales and get some double dipping.
I'm curious to see how they'll achieve 25 million.

Summer months are always the lowest for gaming.... Zelda has enough cache to where is can push hardware and Switch is also not restricted to indoor play...
I wouldn't take one month and say it indicates an overall trend, that is jumping the gun by a long shot.
