Switch Beats PS4 by 100k units, PS4 beats X1 by 100k Units...... X1 beats 3DS by 20k units.

Hurrah for all machines getting a little victory! Also Switch consumes another 200k off the X1 lead, I had predicted the catchup would be fast as I expected the X1 sales to drop like a stone, but I didn't imagine that any console would be doing 200k+ weeks in June/July, the release of the Mini, Switch in China and Pokemon before the years end should pretty much seal the deal on catching the total X1 numbers.

Have to tip hat yet again to Nintendo for ... as I called it at the time, making a daft choice to hold off the Switch launch and miss out on holidays 2016, setting the system launch back even a few months seems to have put together a series of first party and collaberations with 3rd party devs to bring a near constant stream of titles to play to the Switch ever since launch.

Those fuckers still have so many aces up sleeves too.
- virtual console
- Super mario 3d World
- Pikmin Trilogy
- Metroid Prime Trilogy
- Pikmin 4
- Metroid Prime 4
- All of the Wii U HD Zelda remasters

and more to come in the form of basic things which should have been on the system long ago imo... a GTAV port and Netflix app are still weirdly absent from the machine.
