Notes
Major Amazon update: The Xbox Series S vanished from the rankings June 17th and hasn't come back. This isn't due to a drop in sales, even previous months results have disappeared. I don't know why this happened.

Amazon full month rankings: #36 PS5 Digital Horizon Bundle $449 / #38 Xbox Series X $499 / #72 PS5 Digital $399 / #81 PS5 Horizon Bundle $549 (Amazon full month goes from October 01 to October 30) Source | PS5 $499 was also sold some weeks but not enough to enter the Top 100

Best Buy is selling units in store on a store by store basis. These sales don't get announced, but online drops will still be reported.

Xbox Series S is in stock at every major and small retailer.

Xbox Series X was in stock at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and the MS Store most of the month.

Target now sells Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in store as stores get units, no longer on event schedule.

October should be a great month for both PS5 and XBS. Stock was available every week and Modern Warfare 2 will push a great amount of units in Week 4. PS5 had a MW2 bundle through Sony Direct that week.

Series S had a $249 deal at Target for 3 days in Week 1 and another Target deal that bundled MW2 for no additional cost for 2 days in Week 4.

Major Amazon update: The Xbox Series S vanished from the rankings June 17th and hasn't come back. This isn't due to a drop in sales, even previous months results have disappeared. I don't know why this happened. This extends to the holiday SKU

Amazon full month rankings: #7 PS5 God of War Ragnarok Bundle $559 / #16 PS5 $499 (Amazon full month goes from November 01 to November 30) Source | PS5 Digital $399, PS5 Digital God of War Ragnarok Bundle $459, and Series X were also sold but not enough to enter the Top 100

Best Buy is selling units in store on a store-by-store basis. These sales don't get announced, but online drops will still be reported.

Target now sells Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in store as stores get units, no longer on event schedule.

November was a massive month for stock replenishment for both PS5 and Xbox. Sony got a ton of units out for God of War and managed to keep the restocks plentiful and frequent.

Xbox Series X got tons of stock from the start of the month and lasted well into the month. Series S had a $50-$60 discount depending on the store for 10 days. Amazon was selling out of stock within days, and Target stock actually got more stock once stores started running out.
