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

Question. You said in an earlier comment that you expected PS4/Switch would be very close this month. If those numbers are accurate/close, do you still consider a gap of 35k to be very close?

So difference is around 35k, not 10-20k like you thought.

Even if the margin for the gap is +/-10k, that's still a bigger gap than anticipated.

it doesn't work that way, even if the guy, if he  had ps4 at 255k and switch at 270k he still would have won, because of the xbox numbers.

I think 35k is not vey close, 25k, would be very close considering it's a 5 week period.

Ah... I think 35k can be still considered close. It will be more interesting from March on. I think both January and February were close.

Poor PS4 and xb1. They need a price cut if they want to stay competitive with the switch. I honestly feel until they do, Nintendo will win every NPD for the foreseeable future. Sony already proved it can win NPD with a $199 PS4 as evidenced during November. But at $299 going into its 5th year, it’s setting into a firm 2nd to 3rd position for monthly console sales.

Now that February is mostly barren of big game releases on PS4, this month should see switch winning by a significant higher margin. Take note, switch won January with no new games at all. PS4 had dbz and monster hunter and still lost.

But Sony can still reverse all of it by lowering the price and get right back in this. Until then, this is a switch train and we’re all in for the ride!

So what about the PS4 having sold 0.5M more than the Switch worldwide this year, according to VGChartz? Should Sony forego worldwide revenue just so that they can stop the Switch from marginally outselling the PS4 in 1 region?
