Switch hardware must have had disappointing numbers if it did worse than the PS4.

Replying to an older comment, but the actual increase in revenue was $9 million and the analyst said the increase in hardware sales was due to the Switch.

9 million divided by 300 is only 30,000 units. Japan sells ~24,000 a week. The US is a bigger market than Japan, so the numbers are much higher. With this in mind, PS4 likely saw a decline year-over-year. I point this out as everyone is cheering "YEAH PS4" but in reality, sales are likely down. Basically, it's the kind of a sand castle.

EDIT: Also software is down 20 percent. This is mostly due to Overwatch I'm sure, but it coincides with the decline in PS4 hardware.

Don't forget digital sales this year are probably up about 10% on the figure last year.  For example if it was 30% last may it would be 33% this year.
