I predict that in the 40 week sales of Switch will surpass PS4 sales.

So 2.1m from 29th October to 2nd December? Yeah that should happen I think.



Updated OP



Nice! The Switch is close to catching up. It's interesting to think how despite the fact that Switch seems closer every week to matching the PS4, a lot of us still believe there is no way it will touch it. It's so different looking at a week to week chart and thinking about lifetime sales, kinda crazy!



Around the Network

Switch gaining on PS4, it has cut the lead by almost 700k in the last 15 weeks.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Interesting. 6 weeks more and it's done deal.



The gap, it closeth. ... Update Required ...



This is just me playing some numbers =) So unless my math are totally off here goes:

Week 43 (when the PS4 starts to gain momentum again) lands right up with Christmas. According to rumored number the November NPD has the Switch at around 800k, in Japan we're currently at around 500k in November.

That leaves us at 7,9M + 0.8M + 0.5M = 9.2M + Rest of World at the end of November
Adding in December sales up until Christmas I'll keep estimate reasonable numbers (probably a bit on the low side in Japan at least) and adds another .8M for the US and another .4M for Japan and we're at 10.4 + Rest of the World for November and December

So just guessing.. between 11-11.5M worldwide around Christmas. So around 0.5-1M ahead of the PS4 for the final 9 week stretch where PS4 should race back.

Such a nice turn around for Nintendo this year, I do believe the PS4 will probably have slightly higher sales after the year is over but the Switch should be close enough. It's been a fun ride :>

Nice speculation.  It is going to be a good fight for the entire system's life because just as Switch pulls ahead with their Holiday, Sony comes in with their holiday numbers.  We may not get a good idea of who is officially winning the race for at least another year or two. ha.
