How are you counting those numbers? by months??, i mean first 19-20 months or something similar for each console?

If it's that way, that means PS4 and XBO will probably be ahead of Switch in a month or two because it will be their holiday season period. This put in perspective how well was doing XBO in USA despite the problems everywhere else.

Look at the post he replied to

PS4 2014+2015

XBO 2014+2015

NSW 2017+2018

since PS4/XBO released in Nov and Switch in March it makes a launches aligned comparison not very accurate so the best thing to do is compare full years. Switch is missing Jan/Feb in 2017 but March being its launch month basically cancels that out.

I asked because i saw that, and i think i understood what you said, but i prefer still launch aligned numbers, first 12 months, first 18 months, first 24 months. It's not a perfect comparison for the reasons you said but, this other way is a little weird to me. Switch has less months, and we're not counting launch period of PS4 and XBO which were big for both.
