Happy to see all 3 manufacturers do so well

PlayStation has Europe in the bag and Switch has Japan in the bag. But US is an interesting market where all 3 have very healthy sales.

For now, PS4 has won 5 of this year's 11 months (January, February, May, June, and November), Switch also 5 months (March, April, July, August, and October) and SNES Classic 1 month (September). If you exclude SNES, Switch has 6 months. Can't wait to see December's numbers.

This information is very interesting, thanks. I am surprised. The PS4 has won every month against the Xbox in America (homeland of the Xbox) ??!! That is extremely impressive. And in Europe + Japan it is clear that the PS4 is significantly better. Players want big games, great exclusive titles and beautiful story-games with emotions. Those are the biggest reasons why the PS4 is better than the Xbox anywhere (sales figures). I think in 2018, the difference will be much, much bigger - when I think of the flood of games on PS4. My forecast for the 2018 highlights: Spiderman, Detroit Become Human, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, MH World and another suprise. 5 million PS4 sales are possible 2018 in America alone or what do you think?
