Wow very close PS4/Switch with the PS4 edging it out. Man it just keeps on chugging along and selling. The Switch I can't wait to see the numbers when Pokemon/SMash release. With Spidey for Sept I would assume the PS4 will knock it out the park. And with COD BO4 and RDR2 still has some stuff to use. XB1 compared to the other 2 just not looking all that great at all.

Ps4 over 200k!!

Imagine how much it outsells the competition in September when it tracks spidey launch if it's the top seller now

Switch despite second place still selling well although it's sales will drop in September if mediacreate sales are reflected WW.

Xbox not so good. 3ds on its last legs. Vita ded.

 

Edit: just noticed that sometimes like this week ps4 in Japan sells more then its xbox rival does for the whole of Europe. I don't want to ever hear Japan ain't important for Sony again! That would be like saying Europe isn't important for Microsoft when it clearly is. 

People say all the time that Xbox does very poorly outside of NA & UK.

We know that but does Microsoft not care about Europe which btw includes the uk? I highly doubt they don't care despite doing badly this gen.

Ya I agree and I think Sony cares a lot about Japan.

Well, the streak ends at 5 weeks for the Switch as the PS4 retakes the weekly lead.

Great PS4 numbers. I can't wait for Spider-Man effect. I'm having so much fun with the game.

This has got to be in the running for the closest global weekly numbers ever.

I remember there was a thread in which someone counted how many n°1 weeks each console had, I wonder how it's like for this year

With the new pokemon bundle there is no way Switch won't dominate the holiday seasons (if it wasn't clear already).

You're expecting a $399.99 Switch bundle to dominate the holiday seasons? It'll sell to diehard Nintendo/Pokemon fans and that's about it. There's pretty much zero mass appeal.

It goes beyond just caring about a market. Microsoft made a big push for Japan with the 360 in the early stages, needless to say it never paid off. Europe is Sony's territory, I am not sure the Xbox brand will ever succeed there either. I live in Puerto Rico which is a US territory/colony but I guess in terms of video games we are somewhat like Europe lol. The island is mostly PS4. Out of my co-workers and friends. 7 of us have a PS4 only  2 have an Xbox 1, 3 of us have a Switch. When GameStop left the island and the game's were on Sale all PS4 games sold out quickly. There were butt loads of Xbox one games left at bargain price...( I was actually sorry that I didn't own an Xbox one then lol) .
