Guess I'll clarify then and just say I'm referring to the percentage of Switchs sold divided by the sum of Switches sold plus PS4s sold.

Basically that the Switch won't dominate the PS4 in Japan as much in '18 as it did in '17. But again, that's a pure guess since the second half of the year for Nintendo is a giant question mark at this point.

Honestly it was more surprise at the original comment that it didn't reference the buttkicking the Switch put on the PS4 last year and only thinks that now the Switch is starting to dominate, which is a really strange comment to come by after a month or so of the PS4's best sales in Japan in a long time.

Nah, Switch will dominate PS4 this year just as much as it did last year.

PS4 is ahead at the moment but that is 100% because of Monster Hunter which is by far the biggest game PS4 has gotten or will get.

With the exception of a few possible weeks where PS4 gets a big game, Switch will have a solid lead throughout the rest of the year and the holidays will be an absolute slaughter.

PS4 really doesnt have any big hitters set for Spring so we shouldnt expect Q2 to be anything special and last Summer had Dragon Quest so we should expect Q3 to be down YoY.

PS4 should sell ~2 million this year in Japan while Switch will sell 4 million or more.
