Wow! The Switch did end up edging out the PS4 this month, that is quite impressive.

I still think it is selling decently, and with the constant updates( and what I hope that Nintendo will constantly keep advertising it through directs, those new updates) the game will keep selling a good number of units.I dont think it will do 10 millions or anything, but when its all said and done, I can see the game landing somewhere betwenn 2.5 to 3 millions.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I can do that.
The PS4 has as of March managed to make 2017 its best year so far, selling more in the first seven months of the year than it did in the first eight months of the year in the previous three years. To keep that lead going into the holidays, it will need to sell at least 807k in the Aug.-Oct. period, an average of 269k per month. It's certainly possible, with Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Destiny 2, and GT Sport being some high-profile releases between now and Halloween that could help boost sales. Destiny 1 was a massive system-seller that gave the PS4 it's best non-holiday month to date, with a whopping 538k sold in Sept. 2014. Will Destiny 2 have anywhere near that hardware-pushing prowess? |
Do you the source of the numbers. I ask because it seems odd that Q2 sales for 2017 would be so much higher than 2016. Sony noted that Q1 (Apr 1 - Jun 30) PS4 sales were down slightly. Looking at hardware spending, the % increase was marginal those months (least May) and the NPD analyst quoted Switch was the reason for the increase. Shouldn't there be a flattening, not this massive jump in June?

Considering the supply constraints were still in effect, this is amazing, Go Switch!

Not really comparable, though, since the Holiday boost is very important in NA, which the Switch has yet to have.
Bet with PeH:
I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.
Bet with WagnerPaiva:
I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Actually it is, Switch managed to do this numbers without holiday season, so pretty impressive. From list only 3DS also was released in outside holiday season.

Yes, that's what I meant.
On the other hand, comparing early Wii and Switch sales just measures which system Nintendo was able to produce faster.

Agree, Wii had bigger shipments but was also heavily supply constrained, but in any case it's very impressive that Switch has best results after Wii with fact that Switch is released outside holiday season.
Hmm, interesting
