Might want to look at the monthly chart. The Switch is #8 and the PS4 is #9. Considering they have been switching back and forth in the hourlies, I would say the sales of their top SKU is pretty damn close. Now, if you look at the rest of the list, the Switch does have a 2nd SKU in the Top 100, but it's only at #73. Let's look at the Hourlies, now. The Switch and PS4 remain in the Top 20. But, the situation looks much different for the secondary SKUs. Now that the Pro is in stock, it has been doing pretty good. It currently sits at #59. The next SKU is another PS4 at #63. The secondary Switch SKU is at #75. The PS4 also has the COD bundle, now, which sits at #95. If things continue like this, those secondary PS4 SKUs are going to start rising in the monthly charts, passing the secondary Switch SKU. So, all PS4 SKUs will beat the two Switch ones. You are right that MK8 may change things, so we'll have to see how that plays out. Though, do we know if April NPD actually covers the 28th-30th? I know they aren't exactly lined up with the beginning and end of every month. |
Last month NPD went up to 2th ASpril right?If thats the case, and assuming that NPD will cover at least 4 weeks, it will get until the 30th.So MK 8 will influence on the numbers, but just slightly, since, and Im guessing it, NPD will just track 3 days of its release.
Still, since the demand is so high, I expect the Switch sales to be high for those three days.Personally I believe it can sell anywhere betwenn 100k to 200k in just those three days for US.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
