You're saying it's only sold 4.8M since April? Seems kind of low, is that about normal for consoles?

It's not really low at all, the only reason we're talking about the number negatively is the massive expectations thrown on the system by Nintendo and others. 20m Forecast, or the many users on here who tipped the Switch to beat the PS4 this calendar year (it actually might come fairly close still!), (or that one guy that thinks Switch is going to outsell the PS2.)

For comparison PS4 sold about 5.7m since April and XBO sold about 2.9m. 4.8m is actually quite the achievement especially without releasing any big games, it's just not enough to hit lofty expectations.

Yeah I assumed that it was about below PS2/GBA/Wii/PS4 but above other consoles ... since that has been how Switch has been tracking for a while btw

So am I wrong in believing that switch sold more first year? I thought I remembered that happening. Is it PS4 catching up and beating it this year?
