Looking at the hardware for this week, the Switch has comfortably beat out the competition with a total of 83,052 sales across all three SKUs. The PlayStation 5 is nevertheless doing well, though we expect sales will remain stable for the next few weeks and then spike heavily upon the release of Final Fantasy XVI. Watch out, Switch!
Otherwise, it's business as usual this week; shout out to the New 2DS LL - you hang in there, buddy!
