Ps4 beating the Switch. Nothing stops this train!

The PS4 is selling roughly the same as always, the Switch is marked up over $90.  And FYI, if it is beating the Switch, it ain't by much.  Switch has 2 SKUs in the top 25, the next PS4 after the lead SKU is in the 40s.  Also, both Switch SKUs remain ahead in the monthlies.  

The ps4 may be selling the same but it's always in beast mode so my assessment is valid. The release of the switch has had no effect on momentum.

Not sure 'beast mode' is a terribly scientific descriptor...

Good thing I'm not a scientist.

My prediction will probably be correct, switch will still be 1st on may NPD, but it will be harder after. It still can win June/July/august, but it will be over once september is here.

Holy crap, why did the Retron jump so high? Was it sold out, too? Anyway, great to see the Pro doing so good. I'm thinking we may only get a $50 cut this year.
