Not if you take into account the Switch min (381k). PS5 has beaten Switch in revenue.

NPD January 2021: CoD #1, Valhalla #2, Miles Morales #3 ; Switch #1 HW in units, PS5 #1 in revenue both breaking decade old records
- Thread starter Lelouch0612
- Start date
- Sales
PlayStation 5 did better than I expected, and the Switch continues to do its thing!
Always nice to see a single exclusive game in Miles Morales going up against big multi-format ones like Call of Duty: Cold War and Assassin's Creed Valhalla too.
My condolences to those who were so confident that Xbox Series X/S would come second in the predictions thread ... 🙈
Seems like all three are doing well in the US of A.
I do wonder how many more units the PlayStation 5 (both the disc and digital system) and Xbox Series X would have accumulated if stock wasn't quite as big an issue as it now.
The Just Dance series is probably closer to 95% than 90% (on a Nintendo system) if you ask me ... 💃🏼
There's no need for the team at Santa Monica Studio to rush things when they don't even currently require this game to sell anybody on a PlayStation 5.
Quite happy with Returnal, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Horizon Forbidden West this year.

😬 Cyberpunk 2077 fell like a rock.
Seems PS5 is doing really well as expected. They would do even better if they had more stock.
Nice to see Spiderman Miles Morales performed well and Ghost of Tsushima is still going strong.

I tried to improve the range but given that ASP for the Switch can go as low as 199$ and for the PS5 as high as 499$, it is not possible.
In theory, Switch 2021 minimum is at $200 as well (if all Switches sold are Lites), so it would give a lower absolute minimum.
Edit: But as m051293 said, a comparison with PS4 January 2014 gives a minimum of 217k, so that's the lower bound for now.

Next DS or PS2 is more accurate. At this point Wii was already falling off.
Link? Can I get it shipped to the US, or do I need to ship it to a friend that lives there and then have them ship it to me? The S is all I want/need.
Yeah, we just have to hope it won't drop off a cliff like the Wii did.

The Wii ? It'll outsell it this year.
PS5 Hardware Estimates
" highest dollar sales total for a January month since the Nintendo Wii in January 2009. "
Wii 2009: 679K * $250 = $169,750,000
PS5 is less than that
The next likely candidates for what PS5 surpassed is the following
Wii 2010: 466K
360 2011: 381K
PS4: 271K
Wii was at $199 in 2010, so the revenue would be $93.2M
3/5ths of 360 sales were Kinect bundles which sold for $299/$399 while non bundled S sales were either the 4GB $199 or 250GB $299. Taking the average MSRP for the Kinect bundles ($349) and standard SKU ($249) that puts revenue at $118.1M
PS4 revenue at $399 would be $108.4M
So the lowest PS5 revenue is at is $118M, but I'll put it at $120M, with the uper limit being $169M
If all units were $499, then the PS5 sold between 240K and 338K
If 80% of all units were $499 and the rest $399, then PS5 sold between 250K and 350K
If 70% of all units were $499 and the rest $399, then PS5 sold between 255K and 360K

Rolling 12 month top 10 best-selling titles in the U.S.

Huge congrats to Insomniac. Miles Morales entering top 10 is deserved.
Here's global sales through Dec 2020.
Wii peaked in Year 2. Switch has nearly matched this peak in year 4 with 1 quarter still to be counted. Trajectory is very clearly going to be different.
Looks like they won't direct ship to the US. Thanks though! I'll see if I can't get a friend to help me out. ☺️
Because it counts with the MSRP regarding Wii 3 years after the launch maybe? I am sure that at that point while not common, it was still possible to find different sales for that platform already.
People joke about Americans loving Call of Duty
But Americans do love Call of Duty

Looks sold out to me..
Wait a minute that's the 12 month chart? Miles jumped into the Top 10 of the year after releasing in November??
Shout out to Insomniac, they're going places with that niche Spider-Man license.
So 3 months in a row now PS5 has beat XSX in shipments to the U.S. Wonder if we will get the rationale of Sony focusing on the world and no stock drops again next prediction thread.
It was always hard to understand how Sony simultaneously sidelines the world supply for the U.S. while also not supplying the U.S. because they are focusing on world supply.
Good to see Demon Souls move up and Miles keeps on trucking.
BOTW will never die. Everyone I know who gets/wants a switch wants that game.

Scalpers sure are buying a lot of accessories.

The fact that Insomniac are getting ready for another AAA title release as we speak...i swear Sony hit the jackpot with this acquisition.
It's the last 12 months, so february 2020 to january 2021 if I'm not wrong, but yeah, very impressive to say the least and even more considering it launched at $50.

Yea the trajectory is definitely different and it's not going to drop off a cliff like Wii anytime soon. Nintendo stopped supporting the Wii, which helped expedite its drop. That doesn't seem to be the case at all and we haven't even mentioned price drops, revisions, etc... Nintendo would have to try to kill it off and even then it would sell better as long as there were units available.
Last year, the Wii SKU of Just Dance was the second best selling version, behind Switch, but ahead of Xbox One and PS4
Just Dance 2020 for the Wii debuts as the second best selling SKU (UK)
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/11/just_dance_2020_sold_better_on_wii_than_ps4_or_xbox_one_in_its_opening_week_uk The Switch version accounted for 55% of sales, but going further in... Hope y’all are ready for Just Dance 2021 on the Wii.www.resetera.com
Yeah I remember that, hilarious :P
That's probably true.. I was just throwing a number out there :P
Sony wouldn't rush the release of the next God of War. The last game took all the time necessary, to the point where Shawn Layden asked Cory Barlog when the game was releasing when they were on stage at PSX 2017 lol.
I'm all for games taking all the time they need, but the truth of the matter is that releases are strategic. And even if Sony had 3 flagship releases done at the end of the year they wouldn't be releasing all of them because it would not only crowd their and their partners schedules, but it would just do nothing for a console that cant stop being sold out.
