No offense but what the fuck are people comparing 3DS first January to Switch?

3DS first January - 160,000 (also highest January it ever had)
Switch first January - 300-350K?

Even if that's a 5 weeks month and we cut Switch sales to 4 weeks (240-280K) 3DS get destroyed anyway.

Not true, 3DS's first January was 233K in the US ... (we never got a number from NPD so vgc kept making adjustments inline with statement) 

We also don't know if the Switch did 300K+ either since the total factors in SNES mini and 3DS ... 

LOL yes, we have NPD numbers, and if you missed that now you know, 3DS first January was 160k. Not even close to Switch.

Here all January sales for 3DS:

2012 - 160,000 (4 weeks)
2013 - 145,000 (5 weeks)
2014 - 97,000 (4 weeks)
2015 - 74,000 (4 weeks)
2016 - 70,000 (4 weeks)
2017 - no numbers, but less than in 2018
2018 - between 97K and 145K (5 weeks)

 

And while we have no Switch numbers it is almost surely over 300k, SNES mini sold 335k in December, so i don't think January sales can be higher than 150k (probabily less), and 3DS is 145k maximum, this leave at least >705K for XB1+PS4+NSW. It is possible that Switch is under 300k, but not likely.

Spend hardware doesn't mean much, for what we know a big part of XB1 sales could be 500$ XB1.
