So for the final week and end of year we should expect:
A bit under 26 million for the Switch
A bit over 13 million for the PS5
A bit under 9 million for the X|S
For lifetime totals of:
Around 103 million for the Switch
Just under 18 million for the PS5
Just under 12 million for X|S

PS5: 18 million 2022, 36 million LTD
X|S: 12 million 2022, 24 million LTD
No, not at all.
The Switch should be at 25.6 million at best
The PS5 at 13 million
The Xbox Series at 11.7 million
