switch got a extra week in jan, that has to be deducted, or mentioned at the very least.

Agreed.

@zorg1000

Skew the numbers in any way that could help the PS4 win.

yea lets just ignore the fact switch got a extra week and is the only reason it's ahead.

True 2015 only had 51 weeks

 

LOL sorry Rick but a comparison of a full year is still going to be equal

well i'm not talking about a full year, but as of now if someone is judging  this years sales, he's gonna think well why did switch dominate in JAN so much, and its because of the extra week, and the only reason why switch is ahead at the moment.

Don't you realize that 2018 is 53 weeks long?

I get that but then we would also have to find out which month(s) Sony picked up that extra week for 2015 and make a note there.  When looking at the full year it really doesn't matter in my humble opinion.  Either way unless you edit your post and all of us that quoted you do too then it is now noted.



Someone pick tie in the poll so that I can say I called it, that would be a sic prediction if it panned out. I picked PS4 but now regret not picking tie
