ps4 domination, and switch losing momentum, xbox is just bad.

Yeah, 16% less for same month last year is not only losing momentum, but its failing of a cliff. :D

Switch better than your prediction of 245K

yea, so? it's still losing momentum, and reports are october is looking very weak for hardware sales based on insider info.

No one said that hardware sales in October are very weak, you just pushing your usual agenda.

Not reaching sales targets and losing momentum are two different things. If Switch sells below 15m or so for the fiscal year, THAT would be losing momentum. 

sales are down 16% this month compared to last year September, and with reports of october looking weak it's fair to say it's losing momentum.

One month is with 16% is loosing momentum!?

This numbers (down) clearly show that Switch is not loosing momentum, actual sales for Switch were very stable hole year, and we again talking about sales without system seller games for hole year, and two biggest Switch games of year yet need to be launched.

January-September total sales:

PS4: ~2708K (+9%)
NSW: ~2245K (-3%)
XB1: ~1868K (+32%)

I will just say this man. It doesn't look like it is losing momentum to me. But more like the calm before the storm.......with Smash coming and that Pokemon bundle(even if it isn't a mainline game) I am sure things will pick up. And it was not most people that predicted that the Switch would destroy the PS4 this year. Just a few diehard Nintendo fans and clearly they were wrong. Let's not confuse the minority with the majority on this.

it will do the same numbers from last year imo in the holidays, reports from insiders is pokemon hype is weak.

Pokemon Lets Go target more casual gamers and kids, that kind of game dont make hype and preorders among their targeted audince like other usual games.

Also interesting you only reported that Pokemon hype is weak, while you didn't mention that Smash Bros Ultimate hype is incredible strong. ;)
