The ballet between GTA V and Mario Kart 8DX in the software charts is beautiful. It's like two neutron stars gravitating around one another.
 
Are the CESA numbers for yearly hardware units the same numbers NPD/Circana publish?
Yes those numbers come straight from NPD (Circana), but they are rounded and only use original reported data. So if any of those months got readjusted later, CESA wouldn't report it.

Thanks for the explanation!
That's really cool, so now we can at least compare the sum of our monthly estimates with the yearly CESA numbers.

So if I calculated correctly, in all of 2021 our monthly prediction game estimates
....underestimated Switch by ~135k
....underestimated PS5 by ~17k
....overestimated Xbox by ~115k.
 
You thought it was over, but the epilogue remains.

81 - Final Fantasy VII: Remake

10 81 Final Fantasy VII: Remake

Let the tensai intergrade you!

Would have placed top 20 in the full chart had Intergrade released on PS4, but better and faster development for the sequels was the priority. GhOAsT of Tsushima benefitted from the Director's Cut on PS4 as we can clearly see. What could have been.

Original:

16 NEW Neo: The World Ends with You 1

Update:

19 NEW Neo: The World Ends with You 1

Systematic world killing me! One step closer to the edge!
 
*Yearly results are from CESA. Month to month is more of a rough guide as nothing concrete leaked for this year publicly other than PS5 469K in November. Everything else is through prediction game calculations.
Nintendo made 2 PR in 2021 so 711K for Switch in October and 1,13M for Switch in November are official numbers.
In the October PR Nintendo also give the OLED number (314k) and Metroid Dread first month (854k) including digital.

Aquamarine also said that Xbox Series sold 1076K in December 2021.
