Oh okay. I thought Intrinsic was just talking about the US Monthly NPD. Then you suddenly brought WW sales to it. Am I mistaking something? 

There is a corolation between the two.

Lets say in 2017 nintendo makes 9m switch units.

How many of those will sell in the USA? half? 4.5m

Lets say Playstation 4 sells 18,5m this year, how many will they sell in the USA? 1/3? thats like 6m.

Im just saying Nintendo Switch will win some months... but probably NOT all of them all year after its release.

I dont see why thats a issue to understand, it seems reasonable for me.

Yes Switch might win a few NPDs, but its not going to beat the PS4 overall sales in the US in 2017 I feel.

It might not even win more NPDs this year than the PS4 does.

Ah I see! But yeah. I agree with you there. The only way I think the Switch can beat the PS4 in the US is if the whole "Switch and HD Rumble" concept gets across to people. And if the next Pokemon game is exclusive on the Switch and releases in 2017.
