Not that impressive, ps4 sold 1mill week one.

That's nice and all but is it so hard to say good job for the Switch? We all know the PS4 is a beast and was back then as well. Dude I am a Sony guy but my goodness you just can't let any other system shine without saying something about the PS4. Geesh

Phew ! I thought that Mod warning lol.

696k totales consoles sales.
280k switch.
68k 3ds.

So probably 5k ps3 and 2k 360 + 10k vita.

That let 331k for the Xone and ps4.

Xone isn't doing well at all atm, so it's probably something like 240/250k ps4 and 80/90k one ?

Damn its worse than I thought for XB1.

This is in its by far strongest market too.

Uk is very strong too for Xone.

After 2 months using NPD figures:

Switch - 1,186,000+ (March/April)
Wii - 1,080,000 (November/December)
WiiU - 1,077,000 (November/December)
3DS - 590,000 (March/April)

Wii U numbers are wrong, i think it was around 885k for Nov+Dec NPD

Thats true, Switch sold more in March than Wii U in November and December combine, so 880k for WiiU (November/December).

More concerned about May onwards. Thats all the heavy hitters released.

It doesn't really matters, huge number of people who want Switch still cant get one.

FunFan said:
Aha! Sales are going down and since I think I saw a Switch at Walmart the other week, stocks must be fine. The bubble is bursting!

Even if you think that you saw Switch at Walmart the other week, fact is that Switch is US is very hard to be find, shops and Amazon are getting just few restocks per month and those stocks are usually sold out in matters of hours.

Yeah, it doesn't seem particularly fair to point to the PS4 and use that as a way to detract from the Switch's clear initial success.

Agreed 100%

Kinda low numbers, what surprises me is that even on low numbers some people still are going on meltdowns here lol.
