Piscatella shared some interesting video game hardware sales data on BlueSky for the week of November 22nd.

It’s important to remember that there are many different versions of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S available – different bundles and storage sizes – and each one is counted as a separate item. So, the data from Circana doesn’t show the total number of Switch 2, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S consoles sold, just individual configurations.
