It could easily be argued the opposite.

Jan+Feb PS4 had much bigger titles with Dying Light, Evolve, The Order & Xenoverse vs Switch just having Bayonetta 2 yet they are doing pretty much the same.

Switch has yet to have a monstrous non holiday month. It definitely has done very well most months, but it needs a pop-off month imo, like many consoles before it. April 2017 would count if it weren't for post launch sales.

Examples: 400k in Feb, Destiny PS4, Gold PS4, Wii/DS/PS2 monster months, and others etc.

Who knows, perhaps Switch can win by being more consistent.

January, April, May, July, August PS4 sold 155-220k and averaged 190k.

February, March, June, September, October PS4 sold 275-370k and averaged 335k.

This led to an average of 260k in the non-holiday months of 2015.

 

So far Switch has done 270k & 280k this year. Its possible that is continues to sell in the 250-300k range and has an average of 275k in the first 10 months of 2018.
