Assuming 295k, here's how the Switch's first October stacks up to other console's first Octobers (excluding launch period Octobers for systems launching in September or October, meaning this chart uses Oct. 2001 for the PS2, etc.):

Nearly tying for third-best first October ever. Now, who was it that was saying that this was "unimpressive," hm?

oh wow, its all about context man, october was a month switch was fully stocked every where, and had one of the most hyped and highest rated mario games of all time. mario sold over 900k in npd in 2 days, yet sales didn't sky rocket for hardware so it was very surprising, now look at september for ps4, it launched with a none exclusive big (destiny) game, it did 538k. the fact that you did a graph for first october's is cute though.

Will be a close race to the end, here are the numbers through Sept based on previous leaks

PS4-2.49m

SW-2.32m

We know Switch won October which likely drops the PS4 lead to ~150k.

I don’t know or care about ww. I want even aware there was talk of it. All I know is switch is winning most of the months here in US so far. And probably Japan now too I assume going by media create. Although I’m sure it’s doing well in Europe as well. If you thought I was thinking switch was outselling it WW, I wasn’t. I apologize if that wasn’t clear. 

WAIT.

You think Switch only outsold PS4 by 20k this month? How? Last month the gap was 10k, you think that Mario Odyssey only increased the gap by 10k units?

PS4 will of course see a drop, now, October is a 4 weeks month compared to September 5 weeks. Even if PS4 had the same avg in weekly sales, which seem kinda unlucky since last month was Destiny and NBA which were bigger than AC Origins and Shadow of War, PS4 would be at 240k this month.

At best, PS4 got outsold by 50k.
