lol, before most people were saying Switch would win every month until at least September, now this result was predictable? ok then

in any case, there probably wasn't much between them, and supply may be an issue, though nowhere near to the extent as it seems to be in Japan. Next month will be close also, PS4 seems to have been boosted a bit by the limited Gold edition console, and I don't think ARMS will push hardware at all

also, Ubisoft seem to be having a real good year so far

you can walk into a store and buy a PS4. you can go online to Amazon and buy a PS4.

you can do neither the majority of the time (online or in person) anywhere in the USA or Japan at the moment for the Switch. I think it's fairly obvious if all things were equal in terms of supply in the marketplace the Switch would clearly be vastly ahead in May

it was obvious, and yet before the result most were 100% sure Switch would win.
