Finally got around to updating my game system ownership spreadsheet, which you can find here:

PS5 and Xbox Series X/S had very little increase in ownership from their launch day results. They are getting off to an even slower start than the PS4 and Xbox One. For comparison purposes:

PS4 - 8.48% on 11/15/2013, 16.66% on 12/28/2013
PS5 - 8.18% on 11/12/2020, 11.62% on 12/26/2020

Xbox One - 4.50% on 11/22/2013, 7.47% on 12/29/2013
Xbox Series X/S - 6.01% on 11/10/2020, 7.54% on 12/27/2020

PS5 is already about 5% behind the PS4 at a similar point in time. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series X/S is similarly struggling to gain ownership following a better than expected launch day result. Even the extremely hated Xbox One gained more ownership from launch day to the end of 2013 than the Xbox Series X/S did in a similar time period.

It seems like the effect of the scalpers is extremely strong for this generation's new consoles than they were for the PS4 and Xbox One. It is the best explanation for the 2 new consoles getting off to such a slow start, and then you throw in a global pandemic on top of that which has hurt economies around the world and resulted in mass job losses.

Switch also increased its ownership to an all-time high of 69.07%, surpassing the original Wii's all-time high of 69.03%.

Coming up in the near future - A current look at the status of our vote totals with 2020's polls officially locked in.
