You do know that the switch had no business winning September? PS4 had two juggernaut releases, destiny 2 and NBA 2k18. Madden also released right at the end of august, aligning it for a big September. While the Switch only had a pokken port. Switch pulled off an upset in September, if anything.

It only outsold ps4 by 10k, and its a system that still had pent up  demand due to stock issues, those games you mentioned didn't offer a real boost, ps4 2015 september 340k, while 2014 was 540k, and 2016 xbox did 332k, while ps4 280k.

Nothing as big as destiny came in sept 2015 and 2016. And look at how much destiny boosted sept. 2014. Destiny 2 is already the best-selling game of 2017. Let me repeat; PS4 had the best-selling game of 2017 in US launched this September. There was a lot of marketing for the game, and there were bundles too. Yet switch still won.

And did you forget madden and NBA come out every year? They give a boost every year.
