So surprised to see ps4 at top!

I don't think it's that surprising really; PS4 is in its prime, and has gotten big games like Monster Hunter World and God of War in the last few months, whereas Switch hasn't had any major releases so far this year.

I tought Switch would reach Gamecube numbers by the end of July but I guess I am wrong

If this trend continues the Switch and the X1 will be both up YoY while the PS4 will be slightly down.

I can't help but wonder how much of an impact a $100 price cut would have on the X1X.

They already do: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=234574

PS4 down YOY and still ruling the roost. XBOX One need some “forward compatible” games and not to reply on cross-play to try to sell consoles. Switch is doing well and 3DS is still the kid’s choice award. Finally, who the heck is buying Vita? I know plenty of gamers and not a single gamer I know owns a Vita. 



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

I think the PS4 still has a chance to be up YOY when comparing 2018 to 2017 or at the very worst match 2017 total sales. This is because even though the PS4 did 20M last year, it had a holiday sales period that was worse than it did in 2016. If sony drops the price this holiday season its possible the boost could take them over.

But even if its down YOY by around 1M or even 2M it would still be doing better than the XB1 and Switch.

Am I missing something? 

For Switch, NA + EU + JP = 168k, yet the global total is 206k, I assume the 38k difference comes from ROW, but is it normal for ROW to be that high, nearly as high as JP?

I guess Asia numbers (or likely China/Australia/SKorea, etc ...) are pretty good

Seems to me we should have asian numbers, with japan as substat (like americas vs. US).



3DS-FC: 4511-1768-7903 (Mii-Name: Mnementh), Nintendo-Network-ID: Mnementh, Switch: SW-7706-3819-9381 (Mnementh)

And we'll talk about this  when we'll have a more clear image after this holiday.

Yeah its too early to tell yet... either of you could be right.

I can understand Intrinsics logic though.
Going by this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=234574

2018 sales so far:
PS4 : 6,516,224 units
XB1 : 2,190,595 units
NSW : 4,804,066 units

The Switch is 1,71m+ down compaired to the PS4 so far, and its going to keep growing most likely up towards the holidays.
The Switch will have to have a monsterous holiday sales, to beat the PS4 in 2018.

I guess it comes down to

PS4 : Spiderman + Red Dead Redemption + Call of Duty/Battlefield + Shadow of the tombraider + Fallout 76 + more.
vs
Switch:  Octopath Traveler + Super Mario Party + Pokemon lets go + Super Smash Bro's + more.


I think the PS4 lineup is stronger towards the holidays, yes thats because of the 3rd party support, but you cant just ignore 3rd party.
They do have a impact.
