Ps4 winning February and March



ps4 had a very slow start in 2015. even with out the extra week for Jan ps4 would be ahead by 55k.

Unless VGC is massively overtracking the Switch, it looks like April will be in the bag already; that almost a 20k weekly difference



I feel like there is no way Switch is hitting 20 million this year... I think they dropped the ball with the first half of 2018...

What went on with the PS4 in april and may 2015? Low supply? Or low demand?

It's not hitting 20M this year, this fiscal year however which it's all about. Still possible.



Too early. But fun? Yes.

These are obviously dry months for Switch. LABO “just now” came out. Nothing else has been officially revealed really. Switch’s 2018 will be heavily skewed toward the latter half. More than usual for a console.

I think at the time XB1 was pretty competitive with some good deals as well as those months just not having many games.

Another possibility that is rarely talked about is NPD adjustments. June was massive for June imo, so maybe they undertracked May and overtracked June to add more sales in line with their estimates.

The rest of Spring and early Summer lineup is pretty solid, no mega hits but a sizeable amount of small-medium sized titles. This was posted in another thread.

These months likely wont be massive but they should continue to be pretty stable, excluding launch month and holidays, Switch has averaged ~250k each month so i think it will continue to do somewhere around there.

I remember it having a slow start. But I don't get what you mean when you say even without the extra week the PS4 WOULD be ahead by 55k. Why isn't it ahead if it would be a head without the "extra" week?
