Wow that's alot of drama. There isn't alot we can do about users stealing posts unfortunately.

Go Switch and go splatoon. Excellent news

Thanks Librarian for the numbers

And good luck, you sadly gonna need it

for 2017 the PS4 is still ahead of the Switch in the US (pr NPDs) right? by like 200-300k.
(I know Switch missed a few months of the year)

Where we expecting the Switch launch year, to outsell the PS4, in its strongest market? Is it possible it doesnt?

The bigger question is were people expecting the Switch in its first year to outsell the PS4 in its peak year.  Most systems of any kind of success do not peak in their first 12 months.  And when you add stock issues on top of that, the Switch beating the PS4 worldwide this year seems unlikely.  Now this was less clear eight months ago because it wasn't immediately clear in February and January that the 2017 would be such a strong year for the PS4.  And all of this is no shock, that's why we compare launches aligned.  

The industry is looking very good. Nice to see Switch continue to do well, and PS4 YOY growth. I don't think we are anywhere close to seeing just how massive the console market is going to grow. I see PS4 easily exceeding this year in 2018, and the Switch will do the same. Add in some growth options like a 4G Switch, and Additional PS4 form factors, and some crooked numbers are very likely. Hope Sony and Nintendo have ambitions to continue to grow the market, becuase there is a ton of room for consoles to reach unseen levels.

Great Switch! But what when will come Super Mario Odyssei or Pokemon ??

Thank you for taking the risk and providing us the numbers. 

Believe me your efforts are highly appreciated by me. 

I'm surprised how close PS4 and Switch were this month.
