Okay so we got new info that XBS was in fact up month-on-month for April in the UK.
So here goes again:
373k consoles were sold in Jan+Feb (with 150k+ in Jan and 200k+ in Feb) with PS5 and Switch being neck-and-neck by the end of it (within a few hundred units, Switch slightly ahead). Jan 2020 was about 60k, Feb 2020 was about 70k total units sold, with Switch a fairly comfortable #1 both those months last year. Switch was +21% YoY in Jan 2021 and +80% YTD after Feb, pointing to a huge Feb for Switch, PS5 we found out was about 2k ahead in Feb and about 3k behind in Jan (vs Switch). Xbox stock was also "low" for Feb. So, I estimated this for those months:
Jan 2021: XBS ~60k, Switch ~50k, PS5 ~47k
Feb 2021: PS5 ~87k, Switch ~85k, XBS ~25k
Then March had 217k sales with PS5 being by far #1 and having its second best month (above Feb and Dec). Series X/S also had a good month and overtook Switch into second. Switch is back down to only +14% YTD after March, so not a particularly high month. March 2020 saw 235k consoles sold in total but we don't know any kind of breakdown for the individual consoles. Then in April (2021) we saw ~90-95k total sales with Switch "comfortably" #1, XBS being up in April compared to March and PS5 having basically a 0 month. So I estimate roughly:
March 2021: PS5 ~135k, XBS ~35k, Switch ~35k
April 2021: Switch ~45k, XBS ~40k, PS5 ~5k
Rough total so far in 2021 (Total of ~680k consoles sold): PS5 ~270k, Switch ~215k, XBS ~ 160k, Others (mostly PS4) ~35k.
So here goes again:
