Brilliant MS PR once again. even they seem to be almost getting into the globally in the USA meme with the 1.1 billion hours.

Very nice start for Switch.

The closest prediction to the actual numbers.

How it works is that GAF opens an NPD prediction thread and people guess how many units each platform sold that month. A few weeks later, the OP will release the rankings based on how close people's predictions are to the real thing. This was how we got a general idea of how much the PS4 and XB1 sold in February NPD.

Horizon really sold like crap in USA, a bit like Uncharted 4 which also had a major lead in Europe until holiday bundles. Let's hope this one follows the same course.
