Nope, there were some people celebrating the Switch doing better than PS4 on the week and expecting Switch to outsell PS4 when both stop selling. I won't say it is a lot of people, but there were some.

But so far Switch have been presenting a very good sale performance.

Although I personally don't believe in it, it's certainly not impossible. Nintendo is aiming at 14 million FY, so it's dong equally well as the PS4.

Sure it's possible, we are just to far away to have any certainty. As I said so far Switch is doing fantastic and the 14M is quite good, we will need to monitor the next couple years to see what is the trend for LT.

For consoles, Nintendo shows shipments. They refer to them as sales because shipping is equal to selling to retailers.

For games, Nintendo shows shipments including digital sales. Once again the same logic applies for physical goods, shipments are refered to as sales because the goods are sold to retailers. Or in other words, the sales figures for games on NIntendo's website consist of sold through copies, copies on shelves of retailers and sold digital copies.

Thanks Rol.

Even easier way, on official figures (like finnancial announcements) it's shipped because it needs 100% certainty. Same with Sony and MS (if they released their numbers), on PR it will depend of their wording. Sony have been clear when they ment sold to customer, not sure about Nintendo releases.
