What does mhw not count or something? Should we just exclude the Splatoon effect on the Switch or the upcoming smash? 

Of course it shall be counted, it's just that the MHW boost is probably about as big as it's boost for the holiday season in Japan will be this year while the one the Switch will get will be massively bigger. It skews projections in that way and is the only reason why PS4 is relatively close to Switch sales this year so far, hence why it's pointed out by many. But nobody said to my memory to exclude the game

It only skews projections if you ignore the fact switch gets 2 big games this holiday and traditionally a portable Nintendo device gets a much bigger holiday boost then a Sony home console. I don't think any informed poster really doesn't expect a big holiday difference. That doesn't take away from the fact the ps4 has done well for 10 months in 2018 against the switch.
