Notice that PS5 sales are beginning to decline. If you combine both PS5 versions and the three Switch units, that means that its only 5K ahead of the Switch compared to previous weeks.

I guess everyone who wanted to play Hogwarts Legacy without having to wait already has a PS5 now.


Man that's sad...if those amount are only what equate to the interest of PS5 in general, then the future is really going to be hybrid.

I was pretty sure that Switch sales kept going higher and higher each month ever since it got released.
