10. July - Shining Resonance Refrain
10. July - Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy
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.

Which of these should chart?

I'd say Hyrule Warriors and Street Fighter for May (not so sure about Megaman, especially considering the way Capcom is handling it)

Lego Incredibles, Mario Aces for June, though both Wolfenstein and Y's could have a shot if they're lucky

In July, Crash Bandicoot, Captain Toad and Octopath Traveller should make it, not so sure about Shining Resonance

June should be a solid win for PS4 but July & August could go either way.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they split the  coming months.  June was, iirc, boosted by a number of E3 promotions and sales.  July and Agust are nothing to write home about for PS4 2015 relative to its baseline and the Switch could easily match or pass those.

Naw switch is gonna start losing steam, especially with weak release schedule.

And it has, switch last year, is doing better then switch this year easily in NPD, and while being severely supply constrained last year.

Do we have numbers for May 2017? Can't find them.

But yes March/April last year was higher, of course it was the system just launched. Seems silly to say.
