All right, after like two months of being 30k behind PS4 (which isn’t even that much), Switch is ahead for one. Let’s see the downplaying.

More seriously, I wonder if it’ll hold the lead for another week or two before PS4 overtakes it again?

Didn't see any downplaying =p

I know, but there were 3 noteworthy titles on the week, so you get the general point.

Well honestly only Octopath i would say. Captain toad is a port and released on 3DS too...

I just think Switch momentum is back up since Fortnite/Smash/Pokemon announcements and early this year we just had no clue what was to come so there was no reason to buy it other than Zelda/Mario/Splatoon.

Switch being stable in japan might make it lead a couple of weeks during summer and i can see Switch leading a lot in Q4. Ps4 will crush everything in september with Spidey and RDR in october if i'm not mistaken.

Well any new game can attract some purchasers so it adds up to Octopath. Also there were a third game mentioned.

From Spider in September and forwards I believe there will be constant big games from regular third party games.

Finally NS wins a week, things are gonna be interesting from now on

Ps4 and Switch will battle out for the rest of the year (like in the past months where it was always relatively close), but i think next year Switch will lead most of the time. Price will drop eventually, new colors/bundle might come out, and we will most likely not have 0 system seller again for a whole 6 months.

Very likely.

I wouldn't be surprise if NSW wins next week and a few more weeks in Jul/Aug. PS4 line up isn't helping on this summer.

And is Switch lineup better in Jul/Aug?
