Unless the Switch sold more than 340k, PS4's 1st January was actually better with stock issues.

271k/4 weeks, 67.75k/ week, if extrapolated to 5 weeks then it would be ~339k @$400.

Switch 5 weeks? 340k @ $300?

You mean... Jan 2014? And... what does a specific month has to do with what I said? I said the first year (12 months) were the worst for PS4. It just got better and better sales over time, which is usually the trend for a console. Doesn't make a difference if it sold more or less in one month, which it even didn't btw, when we're talking about a year.

What are you talking about worst? The first 12 months for the PS4 were pretty good in the US. I would be impressed if Switch pulls off a month like Destiny month. (540k in 5 weeks) And it has been pretty steady and close otherwise.

First 12 months PS4: 4.8m

2nd 12 months: 4.5m

3rd 12 months: 5.53m

4th 12 months:  5.36m* more estimated
