This is like the 40th time you have ignored that its not 10 million, its OVER 10 MILLION. By how much, we do not know.

Also according to NPD+Media Create, Switch outsold PS4 by over 1 million in US+Japan in December.

Its also safe to assume it outsold it in Canada since it was the best selling console of the year there.

Its also safe to assume it outsold it in S. Korea since it was its launch month and did 110k.

Its also highly likely it outsold it in France in Dec.

 

It is not at all unlikely for Switch to have outsold PS4 by over 1 million in December.

its always over the number  in every announcement, same thing for sony.  its safe to assume on a important 10 million announcement, it would be very close to 10 million as that a announcement i's a huge PR piece and they want to get it out asap. according to vgchartz data switch only out sold ps4 by 560k, in december. remember were only talking from december 10-24 of holiday shopping to sell 3.4 million just seems impossible. looking at nintendo chart in europe ps4 is selling way better there it's no contest.

Sony and Nintendo, like many companies, are reporting their numbers using fiscal periods, not just a random date. Based on their fiscal reports, their fiscal week are from monday to sunday. They said that as of December 10th, the console has surpassed the 10m units sold, meaning that during the week ending the 10th they have reach the milestone. You can’t use this number as fact because nobody know when the 10 m was achieved, this possibility lies between the 4th and the 10th. If it was the 10th, they would have said “on the”, not “as of”, meaning they’re talking about a tracking period.
