4.2 million shipped.  dudejust compare time frames, with out a launch boost  and see the massive difference in shipments numbers. ps4 could have shipped 7- million easy with a holiday and launch boost, its regularly ships around 6-8 million during that period look at what switch is shipping this year in the same time period when it was supply contrained.

It's not 4.2m shipped, the article he links has a footnote that says it's estimated sell-through.

Shipments were 4.5m as of December 30th 2013. https://www.sie.com/en/corporate/data/hardware_sale.html

However I agree that a separate launch and holiday season is an advantage to a single holiday launch from a sales perspective. That is an advantage in favour of the Switch when it comes to launch aligned first year imo.

its 4.2, and yes its a massive advantage for Nintendo.
