You'll see soon.

i just don't believe ps4/xb1 sold that much, switch was close to those consoles, no way they both did more then 190k for 4 weeks. we also know ps4 didn't have it's best January.

We know? Didn't follow all thread because i woke up just 3 hours ago. If so PS4 did less than 271k.

In any case, we know PS4 / Switch / XB1 in revenue are basically there, but difference in sales can still be high, because:

1) PS4 was selling for 299$ (same Switch price) all month, and there is the Pro at 399$, with the Monster Hunter Bundle selling at $449.
2) XB1 has the Xbox one X which cost 499$

Would not surprise me if between Switch and XB1 there is a 100k difference, but probabily 70k or so seem more accurate. And yes, that's a good month for XB1.

I don't get why you are so interesting in my January prediction, numbers are not even out yet. But anyway:

A) If PS4 is first in revenue there is no way PS4 is that much under Switch, same goes for XB1. That said, you should look at the gap but numbers in general, so far i don't think my numbers will be much off, probabily just add a few 20-30k to PS4/XB1, and Switch could be right.

2) Yes Switch will still get way more than 40% marketshare. (just to be clear, to me 45% is already way more, because 5% of +10 million units hardware is +500K units. I expected something between 45 and 50% marketshare, probabily closer to 45%)

1. So, the gap isn't that much but still around 80k between the PS4 and Switch? That's interesting.

2. I wouldn't say 5% more is MUCH bigger than 40%.

1) I'm saying that i don't think my predictions were much off. If quickrick is right and PS4 is under 271k, then my 257k prediction for PS4 should be very close. Switch most likely should be over 300k, we'll see, so maybe i was a it optimist but not that much off. I'm interested on XB1, my prediction was 188K, but looks like is easy at least 200k, probabily more like 220-240k, hard to say right now, we'll see.

2) Well, i think that's subjective. Remember that we talk about BIG numbers, so a 5% turn out be big in my opinion.
