PS4 - 350
Switch - 300
XBOX - 290

i think XB1 and Switch will be close. Will be interesting which game sold more consoles: Kirby or sea of thieves.

I'm feeling crazy this month.

[NSW] 400k
[PS4] 350k
[XBO] 330k



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Ryng, why you put the Switch so high ? What did Switch have in march compared to in February ?

Compared to the others consoles Switch had a very weak boost for February, a 31% weekly sales increase for that month is super low. (you can also just look at PS4 who increased by 81% and XB1 who increased by 67%, in line with the usual february increase).
Usually, when that's happen, March weekly avg remain the same or even increase, and with March having one more week monthly results end up with a good boosts.

Also March looks a better month for Switch because February only had Bayonetta remastered while March has Kirby Star Allies and the Smash Bros direct.

 

That said, kinda doubt Switch will be that high (even though i believe most predictions are too low) , but i have a bet with Rick and untill the best isn't over i'll try to win it. (probabily realistic range is from 300K to 350K)

 realistic for you. your predictions for switch have way too high for 2018 so far.

Honestly i don't care that much when i predicted 15 million shipped in 2017 and i made that prediction in January, when most people thought 10 million was already optimist. Lifetime to date right now i was super spot on with Switch, so if i maybe predicted a few months too high, this surely won't stop me.

Lol So you're predicting Switch to drop 15% from Feb with only Bayonetta releasing vs March with Kirby?? Interesting...

march is a slower month on average. I don't view kirby as a system seller.
