It much more aligns with the results of the NPD prediction tool for February, where PS4 and XBO were very close together and Switch outselling them 2:1.

I appreciate that. I was curious. How much do you think the Switch will beat PS4 by in Feb? Which is still crazy considering both PS4/XBO had 3rd party releases that weren't on Switch.

To be fair the 3rd party games either weren't big games or they underperformed.

Far Cry: New Dawn is a spinoff and the 4th entry on PS4/XBO so the audience already has the system. Based on UK/Japan charts it did only a fraction of Far Cry 5.

Metro: Exodus seems to be doing very well compared to the previous installments but the series wasnt very to begin with so I dont think it's the type of game people buy a console for.

Anthem had potential to be really big and be a system seller but the reception has been underwhelming and the game is underperforming big time.

Also there is the fact that PS4/XBO are in their 6th year and individual titles dont typically give large bumps in sales late in a consoles life.
