The exact numbers were not disclosed, but it is known that Nintendo Switch closed November with sales of ~ 1.35 million consoles, and the circulation of the PlayStation 4 at the start in November 2013 was 1.1 million. Accordingly, the November sales of the PlayStation 5 are in the range from 1.1 to 1.35 million consoles.

NPD Analyst Mat Piscatella noted that the new consoles could have sold better if not for the shortage. Unfortunately, however, manufacturers often run into shortages at different launches.
