Lol. Where is ol' CliffRick anyway? Been kinda silent lately 

I'd want to stay away from the site if I was relentlessly targeted.

VGC figures only have 2 weeks so far, but it's already a massive discrepancy (is october a 4 week npd?) VGC has the ratio at 1:0.66 in favour of PS4 over Switch. Has there ever been such a colossal difference between the two before?

Won't be long and we can see if this tool has defeated the site it's hosted on or not.

You can't really compare this tool to the charts week-by-week though, because the tool's job is to look at sales for the whole month.  A big reason for Switch's big lead here was because of the Smash bundle that released on the last Friday of the month, but the preorders were evenly distributed over the whole month in this tool.  So the Nov 3 hardware chart should have a big boost to Switch's USA numbers because of the Smash bundle (and Diablo 3, slightly).  We'll see if it's enough to make up the difference, especially since Oct 27 is RDR2 week and should have big PS4 and XB1 numbers.
