I guess it means there's still some shovelware and a couple minor updates in the way.

Both points are true. The PS4 released first only in US, sold a million first week (which probably was one day). But second week were less than 100K, still only US, probably supply constrained. Third week was last week of November, sold nearly a million with the launch in europe (so including US sales of barely more than 100K and european sales of 700K). So, one million first day and two millions first month:

Actually one month, as the chart talks about financial year 2016/17.

ZhugeEX is just awesome! Always provides great and interesting numbers!

I see. But don't they also make money from stuff like TV shows and merchandising? In which section are these included?

Apple stealing components must be a bitch. I think sony has been having the same problem with their psvr screens. You'd think in this day and age manufacturing electronic components wouldn't be problematic.

@OP
Yes and this is why the likes of capcom don't need to jump on Switch right away. There's not going to be a big install base until at least it's second holiday.

Maybe they want to create a situation similar to the one Sega had with the Megadrive/Genesis and Sega Master System in the early 90's in europe and brazil. Basically the Megadrive was the Top-of-the-line Product and the Sega Master System continued to get supported as their entry/value console. In europe this ended when the Saturn released, but they tried to recreate it by dropping the Master System and giving the Megadrive now the value status.

If they do, then the 3DS will probably get supported until the Switch gets an Hardware upgrade, whereas the baseline Switch then takes over the value/entry spot. They did already a similar thing with the 3DS, as the baseline model didn't stop getting produced after the upgraded version came out, after all. Now with the 2DSXL incoming, I think the days are counted for the base model, and we could see more games exclusively coming out for te upgaded versions (though to be fair, the latest games run like crap most of the time on the base model already - they would just not need to consider it anymore when producing the games)

He's here too: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/124103/zhugeex/ (Assuming it's really the same guy)

Im pretty sure that is the same guy.

Yeah I should have mentioned he's here from time to time.

He ll pop in and leave a comment every now and then (usually to tell people they are wrong about something).

Hell he might even read this comment :P

Wut @_@

I wasn't arguing a point, you said it would be more meaningful to have actual figures. I assumed you said that since the OP only contained percentages and charts, which don't tell you about the actual figures, so I gave the actual figures to you.... geez
