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

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?

Switch has the extra week.

At this rate, I wouldn’t be shocked if they end up about equal.

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.

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.

13. July - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
13. July - Octopath Traveler

 

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.

Looks like I'll be skipping out on Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker once again. Weird move to release it along side Octopath.



Signature goes here!

I know but his post made no sense. He said even WITHOUT the extra week the PS4 would be ahead by 55k. Meaning even if the Switch didn't have the extra week the PS4 would be ahead.....but it isn't so his post was/is confusing lol

Most of the 1st party titles while the 3rd party titles will likely act as smaller support titles.

I would want to compare with PS4 as only 3 titles charted in the next 2 months. Leading to 525k.

Or 4 titles in 3 months, leading to 745k.

This gonna be interesting. Tagging.

Hmmm, looking at future months with what we know of thd lineup I anticipate a bit of back and forth from June to September. October, November, and December are the big ones and will be the definite deciders for this matchup.
