Nintendo Switch Oled more available than PlayStation 5
In the US, the two consoles have alternated the leading position since the PS5 broke the Switch's 33-month reign last September. The victory will however have been short-lived since - helped by the sales of the new Oled version - the Switch returned to the lead in November and December 2021.
