I would say good, its better than any May for 3DS & XBO and not far from the average PS4 May.

Also Donkey Kong released during Aprils tracking period.

PS4 May 2015 was considered bad by many, even if it won the month. And I agreed with them. I can't see how slightly better than that would be good.

Point being 3DS, XB1, Wii U, Vita, whatever else you want to add all did quite poorly in May. Switch should be compared to all consoles, not just the poor ones. (for May)

I would add all months of May for all consoles, but of course that is quite the undertaking. But iirc, 360, PS3, and Wii all had better months of May.

Yes and that was why people said DK had lower sales in April, because a lot of it will be in May. Clearly still selling well through May as it is in top 2.

If none of the consoles released this decade had good Mays than isnt the logical conclusion to make that May just isnt a very good month in general for console sales?

If PS4, the best performing console, averages like ~200k in May than i would say 165k is pretty good.

 

Edit: but i guess we are arguing semantics, whether we call it good/okay/decent/average/solid/etc doesnt matter, we agree that the numbers arent great and they arent bad but somewhere in between.
