If you say "Switch sales is killing it" I can understand, but this compared to PS4 and even you with "5 months vs 2 months". So on this your killing is in comparison to another thing.

Not sure why we should consider the sequel to push anywhere near. I wasn't expecting any significant boost from D2.

And it's possible that Switch keeps winning most NPDs.

Nope if you are comparing the Switch winning more months but PS4 when winning taking all the difference your analogy doesn't make it true.

Both you guys come to say the "killing it" isn't compared to PS4 but to Switch success alone, but go again and compare to PS4... zero sense in it.

Saying Switch is doing very good is stating the obvious, saying it is killing PS4 doesn't make sense because PS4 is doing even better than before Switch.

So you want to tell me that NPD was the one doing the announcement and gone and cited themselves? Nope, this is a Nintendo PR using NPD as source.

*facepalm*

The PS4 being the barometer is 1) technically irrelevant and 2) an inevitably since WE DON'T HAVE NUMBERS.  It's no different than people say the PS4 is killing it because it is ahead of the PS2 (can't remember if it still is but it was once).  No one saying that was expecting a domination of the PS2, like 200m sales.  But rather the PS2 being a huge success meant matching or beating it was also a huge success.

The PS4 is a sales machine and is in it's peak year.  The Switch matching or beating it is a huge deal.  Therefore, "killing it".  You just flat don't understand the phrase.  Or are digging your heals in and being intentionally contrarian.

If technically irrelevant you can just say "Switch have been winning several NPDs. It is doing great", no need to bring PS4 namely to it to then say it have nothing to do with it.
