Regardless if it's Switch or PS4, 175k is pretty dreadful. Especially if the console is expected to sell a ton.

Because the sales were so poor for PS4 in its 2nd April it even lost the month to XB1. While we didn't expect Switch to beat PS4 with GoW month, I personally expected 200k+.

All 3 consoles exceeded my expectations last month, but only PS4 did that this month. PS4 might be strongly up YoY in US, but its probably down YoY  for everywhere else leading to Sony's expectations of lower shipments.

But even without those 175k for PS4 in 2nd April on market, best previous month before this April with GoW was 206k for PS4

Hence the expectation for 200k+. XB1 2nd April was 187k, so Switch is last out of the 3 consoles for the month. Sure it isn't far off, but I expected more, considering the trend of Switch sales.
