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.

PS4

2014- 271k

2015- 189k

2016- 227k

2017- ~227k

2018- 254k

2019- 195k

Switch

2018- 270k

2019-  284k

Switch January's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS4 January's.

Switch Feb? unfortunately not.

Well ya you kinda did.

Comparing Jan 2018 to other years without taking into account it had an extra week doesnt seen right to me.

But yes historically PS consoles have a higher Jan to Feb boost compared to Nintendo. This was true last year as well when Switch outsold PS4 in January but was outsold in Feb.

You can take that into account too. It still would match other years with only 4 weeks, and 2019 did quite well with only 4 weeks. I want to see that Jan to Feb boost for Nintendo Switch is all I am really saying. 2019 January (and holiday 2018) really pushed my expectations with regards to the Switch.
