I haven't done the maths but i expect a few holiday weeks this year at 400k+ on or around Pokemon and Smash releases. Also a larger baseline post-Smash until at least the end of Q4.

I expect some big weeks too, I think Switch broke 300k once last holidays and had a few weeks over 200k, would be surprised to see a 400k week on Smash launch and maybe a couple other 300k weeks. But still I don't think any way it beats ps4 this year. I expect it'll still be like 500k away. But we'll see! Will be fun to watch Switch start eating up the gap come November and December!

That's why i said Q4, which is at the end of March. I think it will catch up most of the 2m in holiday weeks and possibly the rest in Jan/Feb/Mar. Especially if something big is released in that timeframe. Even if it isn't, the baseline could be inflated massively for those months, due to Pokemon and Smash. Yep it's gonna be close and exciting!
