Hahahahaha what? Nintendos launch month is higher than PS4's 6th month whilst both have been supply constrained? Are you really THAT dishonest?

The fact that NS is behind on the last 2 months are a sign of things to come, don't get carried away the Switch won't get close to beating the PS4. 

Selling about a million units a month is the current average but the system sold well and petered out quickly. So It may still fall out real quick and potentially wither prematurely. I do not expect Switch to do worse than Wii U or PS Vita but I don't expect Switch to outsell PSP. Will Switch be a commercial success at 80 million units? I would say so... In truth I do not expect Switch to outsell The 3DS. Maybe topping out at 61 million.

That would mean Switch would need to continue selling an average of 1 million units per month for 5 years.

Putting things in perspective PS4 on average has sold about 1.4 million units per month over 46 months to reach 63 million units. It is still tracking faster than PS2!

Over the past 5 months from March 3rd 2017 to August 3rd 2017 Switch has shipped 4.7 million units... So in actuality Switch could be selling slightly less than 1 million units per month.

Once again holiday season 2017 will likely see a huge boon for Switch, but what if it doesn't? If Switch sells less than 3 million units this holiday season I would be a bit surprised. As anticipated Switch selling more than a quarter of Wii U's lifetime sales in 5 months is more than great but will Mario keep this momentum going? We have seen some big titles already come to the platform including re-releases of Mario Kart and the 2nd highest rated game ever Zelda: BoTW.

This hasn't helped Switch outsell PS4 on a global scale (If US≠World then Japan≠World is also true).

I don't want Nintendo to fail as a company but Switch isn't what the masses wanted and it isn't what big developers wanted either... Nintendo lightening up on who gets dev units isn't a bad thing but it doesn't mean only good things are coming either.

What, exactly, are you accusing me of being dishonest about? You do realize that the Switch is still supply constrained in the US as well, right? I literally just posted the data and made a statement that the Switch is ahead when you look at the first year.

Let's look at the rest of the year:

The only "dishonesty" is that I initially misread the March 2014 NPD thread.

Not that it matters, because the Switch will be ahead of the PS4's first year after the July NPD. I guess you don't keep up to date with the Japanese weekly sales threads? Because Nintendo shipped about twice the amount of consoles there in July that they did in June, likely indicating a shipment increase worldwide. But even if they don't increase shipments to the United States at all, the Switch can just sell 216k, like in June, and be ahead.

I guess you didn't see the reason I brought it up. I'm not saying that the Switch will be ahead for the whole year. The point is that the Switch is currently selling at the same pace as another very successful console in the United States (and is half a million ahead of another successful console,) so it's ridiculous to claim that the Switch only sells well in Japan or that its sales have petered out.

It's dishonest cause you're comparing a launch month to a consoles 6th month and going from that point on after to say it's doing as well. 

It is not currently selling at the same pace because they're at different points in their life at that point in time. That is the dishonesty. 

The PS4 launched in November, and the Switch launched in March. Any comparison is going to have that issue, and the alternative is no comparisons whatsoever. You don't think adding the PS4's sales from January and February makes it any more fair? If you just look at the Switch's three non-launch, non-holiday months versus those same months in 2014 for the PS4, the Switch is still matching that:

(By the way, March 2014 is the PS4's fifth month.)
