Aaaand here come the doomers on cue.

This is the slowest time of year, there's a new model announced, and it's been several months without a big game, its normal for even a wildly successful console to have lulls; I checked the charts, and at this point in its life the PS4 was close to 200k a week.

What with the DS than ? making way more sales than the Switch for those months june, july, august ? and not only once, but three consecutive years.

Another example with successful console. Why Switch is not doing what the DS did back in those years ? instead is doing way less of DS's sales in this period.

And again not only happened once but three times. Why you look the console with weaker peaks ? why you don't compare it to stronger sales console ?

DS did numbers over 2M per month in june and july, Switch is doing only some 1.3 or 1.5M way less than any of the peak periods DS has gotten. So it's not time of the year reason, and it's not the model and it's not the without big game reason. It's the system. It's successful but it has limits.

Why compare to the DS? That's not a normal successful system, it's the second highest selling of all time, with only one other system ever even being in the same league. Doing less than the DS isn't a sign of a system underperforming.
