Hey, genius, I'll give you some basic math:

This final quarter, Sony ships 2.5M units. That makes roughly 200k units per week.

Currently, PS4s are selling at a rate of 250k per week (and will likely not be lower in the next weeks due to MHW effect).

See how PS4 is actually depleting existing stock at a rate of around 50k units? And if a company doesn't have stock lying around (like Amazon, apprently),  they are going to have empty shelves in a few weeks...

Time to up production then...
They will need to have lots of stock for God of War, Spiderman, Detroit, Days Gone, MLB, Yakuza 6 ect ect.

Here's today's update to the monthly rankings (two weeks since last update):

Nintendo Switch (neon): #15 (↓1)
Nintendo Switch (grey): #21 (↓3)
SNES Classic: #40 (↓5)
PS4 Slim 1TB standalone: #44 (↓17)
XBO S 500GB standalone: #51† (↑9)
Xbox One X: #70 (re-entry)
PS4 Pro: #72 (↓10)

Switch is kicking ass, i wonder if they can have 300k+ in Jan, Feb & March NPD.

Would be nice to see it up YoY this quarter.

January has been a rather weak month for hardware sales this generation in the U.S., in terms of both percentage drop from December and as a share of Q1 sales as a whole. Granted, this has applied mostly to the PS4 & XBO, which have had rough Januaries for the most part, but even with the 3DS January 2015 & 2016 was the weakest month of the year for the system. Then again, the 3DS is an aging system fully 2-½ years older than the PS4 & XBO, and is on the decline. It's possible that the Switch could avert the usual weak Januaries that have been the past several years. And this January being a 5-week month could help.

Now, February and, to a lesser extent, March is where most of the action in Q1 is. February is more likely to be the best non-holiday month for sales than any other month, thanks to tax season. It would not surprise me if the Switch sold upwards of 350-400k this month. March will be down from February as per the historical norm, but should still hit around 300k. The Switch stands a very good chance of beating its performance from last Q1, maybe even busting the one million mark.

Yeah i was just basing it on being a 5 week month. If it was 4 i dont think it would be 300k.

Q1 has a shot at being slightly up but the big growth will come from Q2/Q3 since it had stock issues last Spring/Summer.

Last year

Q1-910k

Q2-660k

Q3-745k

Q4-2.56m

Total-4.88m

 

This year (my prediction)

Q1-~1m

Q2-~1m

Q3-~1m

Q4-~3m

Total-~6m

If you have an issue with "some" people, can you message them and sort out your issues with them. 

I don't even know what you're trying to prove here. It's an odd response.

Even though I believe Amazon charts to be biased towards Switch, damn, they have the top 5 games on lockout.

Also p0isonparadise, can we add PSVR to charts?
