Forums - Sales Discussion - PS4 vs NS 2017 NPD results

That’s really good. Switch would be virtually tied with PS4 on its peak year (or close to it) if it had January and February.

Excluding launch and holidays, the average of the normal months was around 245k. So if it had Jan + Feb we can extrapolate and say it would be around 5.4m.

I think 2018 is in the bag.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

This is another example of how great the Switch is doing despite VG Chartz forum "experts'" estimate the PS4 is well ahead of the Switch.

Out of curiosity, how did the XB1 sell in 2017 in comparison to 2016?

^ alot of these numbers look really wrong to me.

OP I think your wrong with numbers here.

 

also this:
"Mat Piscatella, the analyst at NPD Group, revealed the general balance of the video game industry in the US in 2017, where it was reported that Switch was the most sold console in that country during December, but, regarding the annual performance, PS4 took the first place and it was the best-selling console in the country the year that just ended."
