What a great week for Switch, PS4 done good as well.

Moooore !!! It needs more than that, it is not enough for 20M.

The PS4 numbers sales must be probably higher than that.

I would say the opposite, insiders are saying Switch is looking to do roughly twice as much as PS4 in US but these numbers are only showing it doing like 33% more.

I really expect PS4 to get sizable downward adjustments in the US for the last 2 weeks.

Does anyone know if the week ending January 5th will be part of 2018 or 2019? NPD (US) has it in the December tracking period but Media Create (Japan) does not.

Switch did 260k last year that week in Europe and 390k this one... Pretty crazy increase, I bet smash numbers will be impressive too even if its not its best market

Agree. It is 3-4 times more in Japan, 2 times more in US, about the same in Europe. Only Rotw should still belong to the PS4 but it is like 10% of the total.

PS4 at 90m!!!!! YEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

FIRST console since the Wii to do this and Sony haven't tasted this since the PS2. I believe it's hit 90m faster then the ps2 as well. Next stop the big 100!
