Switch sales are way over tracked, they already expect Q1 2018 sales to be lower then 2017. I'm not undertsanding how europe and ROTW are out selling north america by a large margin, when all the date from nintendo says other wise.

 

As por ps4, it's really weird sony should have announced 80 million by now but  knows.

Well, maybe Switch ain't the only one being "way overtracked"

I can't really tell with ps4, but with switch every single piece of data we have from nintendo  is NA is doing much better then Europe and ROTW, but according to this, europe and ROTW are nearly doubling NA sales, doesn't make any sense.



I don't know what it is about the 80 million mark for Sony (and Microsoft). The X360, the PS3 and the PSP, they hit that mark and that's all we hear from the sales front. I can see Sony announcing 80 million at Gamescom for PS4 but who knows.

What is your definition of much better? Here are quarterly shipments for Americas vs Other.

Q1-1.20 vs .94

Q2-.75 vs .69

Q3-1.16 vs .93

Q4-2.83 vs 2.64

Q5-1.20 vs 1.07

 

Its pretty close each quarter but overall i agree that EU/RotW is likely overtracked.

What i'm trying to say is americas which is mostly NA, and canada is beating europe and ROTW, yet for some odd reason vghartz has europe out selling NA alone, makes 0 sense.

I apologize for 2 things...
First I know I won't ask it in the right topic, but this one is currently hyped so I know someone will answer, and 2nd, I really apologize to not know already...I have tried to use my brain to find out by myself but I can't.

Why we don't see on the Switch games ranking the sales of Hyrule Warrior and Tropical freeze ?

US sales slump after March for tax reasons, European sales don't as it is handled differently there. Europe's sales have been more or less stable throughout this year, while Switch dropped a good bit down after march in the US. Pretty sure that's where the difference comes from. We're going to see in the investors relations meeting later this month how true it is.

Since switch came out, it has always outshipped Europe/rotw combined in the Americas in every quarter. Now were suppose to believe all of a sudden europe alone, is doing better the north america numbers, all i could say is ok...

Like i said in my last sentance, i agree with your overall point that its likely overtracked in EU/RotW.
