I have to admit I thought Quickrick was talking about Worlwide. My bad. And so, the cycle I mentioned in my last reply will continue onward!

I guess it's not that crazy of a prediction. The problem I have with it is that so far the Xbox is only in the lead by 300k, which is not a lot considering that the Switch has had a pretty horrid 1st party selection until the last two months of the year (popularity-wise). I ... guess I could see it happening. I mean, it's reasonable. I just don't think it will.

You have to account for the different launch timings of the Xbox One and Switch. The current cutoff in a launch-aligned comparison has the Xbox One go through two holiday seasons already while the Switch only has one. If you project what the comparison will look like at the 24-month-cutoff - which is the fairest comparison that can be made because both consoles will have gone through every month of the year twice - you'll be looking at a comfortable Switch lead of ~2m.

xbox one launched at a ridiculous 500$, i think that should be accounted for as well, i think only the extremely hardcore xbox fans would pay that much.
