You all forgot the hiccups of the Xone launch, since it only was released in 21 markets. The Netherlands was not included. You could ship one in from Germany or your store could do so.

Just look at the first weeks of PS4 from a million to less than 90 back too 900k and back to 300k and than back to 750k. If anything supply was like the Switch way more of an issue than demand.

So does xone suddenly take off on week 20 or something as a result?  because for the first several weeks in OP, It stabilizes at about 65k a week afte week 9. 

 

also! anybody can explain why vita suddenly takes off in week 11?  Some big gamelaunch i presume.

The Xone eventually hits the 80k market. I believe the official release of the Xone and presumably other PAL countries was September 2014, but the baseline in Europe did grow and eventually it started selling 80k a week. Anyway the Switch had a global launch which is pretty rare. Don't forget that Japan PS4 numbers aren't included in this graph till the last week since it released February 2014.
