There is no denying switch is beasting on amazon right now, but i'll bet anything you want, switch won't take February.  Before you take the bet, xbox had plenty of amazing deal this month.

Ryng Manuel Tolu did some math and got these numbers

I did some math. Pls remember those are just estimate.

NSW ~ somewhere between 255K and 285K
PS4 ~ 254K
XB1 ~ 235K

Until we get others news/leaks, i'll probabily use ~270K for Switch.

 

So we have switch winning by probably 15k, once sony releases the big guns, and drops the price, i think ps4 will clearly out sell switch this year in the US by a good margin. it really doesn't matter though switch is doing great, but people expecting to beat ps4, i don't think thats gonna happen.

 Right now, it's in between 1k-31k. Could be on the lowest or the highest end of the stick, we don't know.

If only NPD were giving us clear information ...

I miss Libertarian ... (was it the name ?)

It's virtually impossible for it to be only 1K and there abouts.

There's 0.1-3% difference in Revenue between PS4 and the Switch, and considering the PS4 in January had SKUs of 299, 399 and 449 and the Switch only had 299 SKUs.

Just an example of how it could have turned out:

If 20% of the sold SKUs for PS4 was the Pro and let's say 5% was the 449 SKU and the rest was the regular we get:

A: .75x254000x299 = 56 959 500
B: .20x254000x399 = 20 269 200
C: .05x254000x449 = 5 702 300

A+B+C = 82 931 000$ = PS4 Revenue

Switch is within 3% of this

82 931 000 x .97 = 80 443 070$ at worst and 82 930 999$ at best

For the sake of things let's assume it's 3% away 

Which means:

82 931 00 / 299 = 277.3K 

These numbers would obviously look a bit different if the PRO / MH bundle had lesser impact than the 25% I counted on but it would seriously surprise me if the PRO had a lesser market than usual in January.
