Compaired to what?
"Last Quarter the PS4 sold 40.6 million units of PS4 software"

Nintendo Switch has been around like 2 years now, and its sitting at ~87m.
PS4 in 3months did half the total of the Switch? unless Im misunderstanding something here.

Switch is selling software, but not at a insane rate.
Hell even if you take  86,93m Software sales and divide that by the users 18.3m thats about 4.75 games pr switch owner.
And alot of these are small budget indie & A/AA type games.

Download only titles are not included on the figures.Plus he is talking about this quarter performance, not overall.

And was the PS4 doing similar numbers in its second year, during this period?Genuine question.I tried to look around, but a quick search led to nothing, and I dont have time right now to do a more through search.

PS4 Shipped 4M in FY15Q2 (there is the disalignment due to releasing in November instead of March but it was it's effective second Q2).

Total Sales 29.3M
