Yeah it is a bit lower for the winning console.

2019: Switch 365k

2018: PS4 363k

2017: PS4 410k

2016: PS4 405k

2015: 3ds 395k

2014: PS4 285k

 

It matched 2015 and 2018 PS4, but a bit lower than the feb highs. Keep in mind Feb is usually pretty poor in releases anyway. Although I didn't expect Switch to beat those highs, I still expected a better performance.

Switch did better than 2014, 2015 & 2019, below 2016 & 2017 and about tied with 2018. There really is nothing low about its performance, it had a really good month.

I didn't say it was low.

All I said is that it was lower than the other console's better months, and lower than my predictions. Thus, it underperformed to my expectations. Just because it was #1 and sold quite well, doesn't mean it performs to my expectations.

Lets compare to Jan.
