In those figures, do they count standalone VR headsets as consoles? Cuz they basically are. May not be the same shape, but they do the same thing. And would fill the same role in christmas shopping regards. With the Quest 3s going down to 200 USD for black friday, I have to imagine there were some units sold there.
In the past I think they have, I remember the Quest 3 being a top selling console when it released.
The best I could find this year was this article, but I'm not sure if they're just mentioning the VR headset sales in the same article.
