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.

The slow months (April-August) will be very telling then.

Last year it might have had stock issues for most of those months, so it will need to at least do better yoy.
