Is it, though?

I tracked this very closely last month.  The Switch had a lot of supply issues until the last...10 days maybe?  That's when the stock surged up to where it is now.  That's how the Switch went frlm behind PS4 on Amazon to above PS4.  Probably what got them the win for the month.

But October will be the first full month without supply issues.

I agree 1000% and you can even quote me on one of these threads. /highfive

I originally thought they would have enough supply July/Aug., so I badly whiffed on that prediction.

Carefully crafted statement. I think it'll be around the 200k mark

PS4 sold an estimate of 191,000 last month.

September is 90% of the times a increase in weekly sales. To this, add the fact that this month had Destiny 2 and NBA (which in my opinion did not much for the console, but at least a bit of a impact was sure there) and the fact that September has 5 weeks compared to August 4 weeks.

And Switch is over PS4.

 

We are definitively closer to 300K than 200K, that's for sure.

PS4 sales must have been weak.

The statement certainly puts SNES mini over Switch...

By some people logic SNES mini is killing Switch

You keep trying to use that phrase.  I don't think it means what you think it means.

Which phrase?

Good to see that you have humor and bash yourself after messing up.

Seems like a good suposition.

Weak by keeping the growth versus FY16 and 15?

You keep making fun of people using the phrase "X is killing it" with regards to Switch while not grasping what that phrase means.  I covered that in the other thread.

I'm making fun of you and others saying it is killing it compared to PS4 and then saying killing it is separated to any comparison to PS4.

As I just said in the other thread, PS4 being the metric is totally irrelevant and inevitable since we have no numbers.  The Switch is killing it because it is going toe to toe with the PS4 which is a sales machine in its peak year.  The PS4 is the METRIC.  It is not the object of the phrase "killing it", that isn't what the phrase means.  That's straight up not how you use it.

Damn Switch is killing it !11!!!!!111!!11N!!1!

apparently being the best year of PS4 is a weak performance.

Ok, won't keep talking about it as if no one can see the intent of putting both together and use specific words.
