Yet again, happy to see all 3 consoles doing great

That'll hopefully keep everyone at their toes going into next gen.

 

Lol you're giving PS4 owners (if that is what you are) a bad rap.

Switch just had the 2nd best 1st February ever only behind Wii. I can't see how that translates to losing momentum.

switch has the second best FEB means nothing, most of those consoles leaders wii, ps2, ps4, and 360 suffered shortages, aside from that switch has been on the market for a year by the time its first' February came, unlike others where it was like 2 months so it had much better selection of games. as for the momentum comment, oh come on, its obvious if switch sold 400k it would be ok to say its gaining momentum right? so why isn't ok to say it looked like it lost a bit momentum this month when its been doing ps4 numbers every month?

I realise, it came across a bit harsh. I apologies.

It's just that March, April, etc. NPD threads will be full of tiring mockery if you end up being wrong (about Labo flopping and Switch flatlining yoy).

And personally, even considering other consoles' shortages and Switch's larger (1 year) selection of games, I still don't see Switch's 279k February as losing momentum. Switch is still relatively new and consoles usually peak in their 3rd or 4th year. I know PS4 is in its 5th but it looks to be able to stay flat or even up yoy. MHW and to a lesser extent DBF ran with most of the attention while Switch didn't have a big release in February.

I don't know how Switch will fare in the coming months and I think it's quite early to declare anything about future momentum. However, if you end up being right (about Labo flopping and Switch flatlining yoy), I (and hopefully many others) will take most of the criticism back.

Shadow of the Colossus at number 6 is better than I expected.

I really like that game.
