?? it’s much easier to get big percentage boost from a lower baseline versus a higher one. What’s not to get here?

”Similar percentage” is not the whole story. These consoles were not “boosted” the same way at all. I’m repetiting myself here....

Yes they were. 

Explain why sales for PS4/XB1 went up in April, breaking April records for both?

And to your previous post, percentage increases are translatable between multiple products in the same industry. It's how you can directly compare how well or bad certain items do on how they perform against the normal seasonal changes and if big events happen.

Percentages don't care if the product was "trending down". If an event happens that boosts the industry by 3x, it's expected that at least a good majority see something similar to that boost. Doesn't matter if sales start at 10, 100, or 100K.

Switch is selling out since March in quantities never before seen for the platform. It is keeping that up by increasing production and shipments.

XB1/PS4 have been selling out since March in quantities not seen before for the platforms. They can't keep up because production is slowing in favor of next gen replacing them in a few months.

Yeah I’m sure you’d agree with this too.

I’m going to quote users there:

“Xbox sales up 747% percent from last year amazing.”

“Sales DOUBLE from 10 to 20!” 

That’s how you’re sounding right now...
Percentage don’t care? What are you even talking about?? Lol it’s all relative. I’m OUT this is too much.
