You should just cut the Vita.


But you do know that first 9 weeks for PS Vita are only Japan numbers because it wasn't released in the west at that time?




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Switch is already below PS4 and Xbox One? That's not really good imo.

Great job! I'll be keeping an eye on this one!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It's supply constrained lol. So anything that sells below PS4 is "not really good"? Lol. I guess that makes PS4 a failure as well then.

So switch is tracking behind Xbox One in the first 5 weeks, and is no doubt due for a sharp fall in sales in the same manner.

I fear that you are being serious.

Considering that Switch is still supply constrained in the USA after 11 weeks and reseller prices are above $350, Switch is going to keep doing 60k+ per week in the USA alone. The Xbox One was selling 60k per week globally at that point.

VGC numbers are several weeks behind, but in real time Switch is already ahead of the Xbox One and will continue to grow the gap in its favor. The only systems to provide competition for Switch on these charts are the 3DS and PS4. The 3DS had a bad start, but kicked into a notably higher gear after its price cut and sold more than 10m units in its first 52 weeks.

Based on trajectory, Switch is most comparable to the PS4. It doesn't look like Switch will need a price cut before hitting 10m.

Of course NATO's serious, he's betting on it in fact: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8410153

He thinks the Switch will drop down in sales after a couple of weeks because the Xbox ONE and PS4 did so after the holiday season

Only Switch or every console, because there where plenty of PS4 and Xone shortages in Europe. Some west Europeans countries like the Belgium, Netherlands, luxembourgh etc didn't even recieve Xone's for months after launch.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I never ever saw the X1 being sold out here in Luxembourg
