So how many times has the xbox made an appearance this month? It really looks like MS is going to need a big E3 to gain back some mindshare.

If amazon is anything to go by... PS4 might take this month away from the Switch?

The monthly has Switch at #11 and PS4 at #14, however thats without the last week, where PS4 has been a decent bit ahead in sales.

Nah, not may. 

My prediction was Switch still win may, but really close numbers with ps4, but ps4 should take lead in june and until the end of the year.

Hmm, I can't see PS4 taking July when Splatoon 2 releases that month, that'll be a big system seller in the US for sure, especially if it get's that bundle. 

A Pokemon or Smash Brothers game would also affect things considerably.

Whatever the monthly demand will be remains to be seen, because right now we're seeing artificially-capped numbers. We won't really know, until the Switch isn't constantly sold out. My poll from last month seemed to indicate that 2/3 of the demand (on VGC) had been met, so maybe June will bring the stocks that finally meet the strong demand. I'm doing a follow-up in 2 weeks, to see if Nintendo has been closing the gap.



Anyone else notice crash trilogy is absolutely beasting in many regions on amazon? Obviously it's budget launch price is proving to be a big hit. After the success of ratchet and clank launching at $40 I'm glad to see it. I'd imagine digital sales will be high too.

Still over a month to go but this is fantastic to see. If it's very profitable I think it really increases the likelihood of a spyro trilogy remaster and a crash team racing remaster.



What these Scalper jackasses don't realize is that stock refreshes have been coming more regularly to brick and mortar stores so fewer people are willing to pay their BS prices. Morons.

Also, great to see ARMS climb so high.



Switch got May in the bag!



Pocky Lover Boy!
