Its down around 20% from last year, and if switch wasn't  so supply constrained last year the gap would be much bigger.

Its expected that April would probably be worse compared to last year because of on last year April Switch launch had effect, May of this year is actually YOY. Despite Switch was supply constrained last year sell numbers were good in any case, and Switch now is selling similar whithout huge game compared to last year when we had Zelda BotW and MK8D until now.

So you could say 2018 Switch sales were good (without comparing to 2017), and do 2017 without excusing stocks, that is the point.

You can't have the argument two fold, "2017 we didn't sell great because we had stock issues, but 2018 is good because we sold equal to 2017". It is, 2017 and 2018 had good sales, period.

I'm arguing exactly the person doing an either/or.

If you say 2018 sales are good because it is similar to 2017 then you shouldn't be excusing 2017 on stock. Because saying 2017 would be bigger with more stock, then 2018 isn't good since it only done equal 2017 because 2017 had stock issues.

Yeah, I can say that Switch sales this year are good whitout comparing to last year or PS4 second year on market, but there is nothing wrong  even if you compare them to last year Switch numbers or second PS4 year because we talking about similar numbers.

You still have hard time realising that Switch last year very good sales numbers despite stock problems, it could sell even more with more stock problems, but sales on first place were good in any case.

Like Zorg wrote, "Last year had supply issues but sales were still good and this years sales are good", its simple as that, but from some reason you still can get it.

 

 

This is funny coming from you, just get ready to have my pic on your avatar when you lose the bet. All we heard from you last year and early this year is how switch would demolish 2017 sales because of stock issues, now this year sales are down, sales are good but are closer to xbox great year then ps4 great year so far, even with the extra week switch got.
