Global hardware estimates for February 2026:
PlayStation 5 - 840,179
Switch 2 - 811,435
Switch 1 - 194,736
Xbox Series X|S - 133,712
Switch 2 will keep selling less than PS5 in most markets but when Nintendo will drop their blockbusters, that's when the sales will massively spike before slowly going back to normal levels under the PS5. Overall with the seasonal spikes, Switch 2 might be able to outsell the PS5 on a yearly basis due to the PS5's age.
