You clearly don't understand the point.

I'm giving to XB1 the advantage of TWO HOLIDAYS, 2013 holiday and 2014.

You think 2013 does not count because was launch? Well, first of all, XB1 launch was in November 2013. It sold another 900k in December, so it surely count as an holiday. But even if you don't want to count it, which makes no sense, XB1 still lose the comparation with another holiday, a FULL holiday, in 2014, where it was selling at freaking 350$ with 2 games.

 

The comparation is super disadvantage for Switch... and yet Switch probabily still wins.

 

What is fun is that you are saying that, if XB1 launched in March, it would have outsold Switch by a good margin. So, you want to remove an holiday from XB1, and you think XB1 could have sold better numbers?

 

Switch is a way bigger success than XB1, in USA. No one can deny that.

I think xbox1 could have sold 2 million for march and april, with out the holidays, i just remember there being an insane amount of hype for xb1 and ps4. I forgot xbone launched at 499$, so maybe not. but if switch was able to do 1.2 million in 2 months with shortages i believe a 399$ xb1/ps4 could have done 2 million  easily, i never seen so much pent up demand 

XB1 had no stock issue in November 2013, and sold only 909k. Then in December it sold 908k. You are telling me XB1 would have sold more in March/April than in November/December.

 

Now i'll tell you what would have happen if XB1 was released in March:

It would have sold less than in November. Probabily 700/800k. April would have been a big drop compared to March, while December was a flat month, it probabily would have sold barely 200/250k, and then starting to do XB1 usual numbers in 2014 (XB1 was selling 100-150k in 2014 withouth any important release)

 

You are seriusly saying it would have sold more, but in reality Switch would have eaten XB1 alive in this comparation if XB1 launched in March.
