You do realize Monster Hunter boost skews things?

From Week 8-week 39

PS4-685,447

NSW-1,415,159

When talking about whether or not something IS dominating, you look at current sales, not ones from 8-9 months ago.

I mean, do you understand what 'this calendar year' means? It's not some arbitrary range as you seem to have selected.

This has to be your weakest argument I've read yet. Yes, tentpole games will raise sales. That's not some amazing secret. It's not Sony's fault that Nintendo didn't have a tentpole game in the first 10 months of this calendar year.

Even in that cherry-picked range, the ratio is 67/33 and not the 75/25 that it should be.

If you want to talk about sales trends then bringing up a boost from 8-9 months ago is irrelevant. Switch has consistently been outselling PS4 2:1 since mid-February and it's going to be like 4:1 or 5:1 in the upcoming quarter.
