Switch will sell 250-300K this month.

220k would be very low, is not gonna happen.

 

But yeah, i forgot that Monster Hunter can get PS4 some boost? If it does then not even close, but if it doesn't, then i can very well see a scenario like 150-200K PS4 and 100-150K XB1.

Remember, XB1 was still on sale for $199 for the first week of the month.

Wasn't that only Amazon? Also i don't think this will matter that much, imo. Xbox one price drops always last one or two month maximum.

Rihgt now i think XB1 will be down YOY in January like it was in December.

No, it was all retailers.

huum, guess i'll think about my XB1 prediction... but every time i had some great expectations for January it always disappoint me, so so far i don't expect nothing crazy.

Well, PS4 sold 271k in January 2014.

So if Switch sells 270k, you are good :p

I wouldn't imagine Switch would have any problem averaging 70k per week in the U.S.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

yea because Ryng_Tolu thinks this, it must be true, switch destroyed xbox on amazon, yet it nearly sold much as switch for december, and beat ps4, which was much higher ranked on amazon.

Switch will sell 250-300K this month.

220k would be very low, is not gonna happen.

I think Switch will have a far better January than you predict. Also I think PS4 will be a little higher, 200-220k.
