Fact that Switch with only Indie releases in January sold more than PS4 and XB1 that had MHW is very impressive in any case. Point that Switch is selling similar to PS4 in any case is impressive any case because PS4 has great sales in any case and most likly it will become best selling home console of all time.

ps4 basically sold the same amount it's alway been selling jan. my point is why do people think switch is gonna do 7 milllion when it hasn't even had 1 month where it clearly beat ps4/xb1 numbers by a large margin.

I dont know about 7m sold in US alone, but that 20m shipped consoles for FY 2018 is reachable. But like I wrote, talking about January specify, not just that January is slow month, but Switch had only Indies and again sold better than PS4 that had MHW and DBZ, that's very impressive.

Like i said before ps4 did regular JAN, it seems DBZ, and MHW didn't have a major boost or maybe they did and ps4 is in decline, but based on the info we have, and 5 weeks, ps4 had a average January  in terms of sales.

i'm talking about september, october, november, december and January none of those months has it shown that it could much higher numbers then ps4/xb.

DBZ and MHW definitely gave some boost to PS4 sales, without those releases PS4 would sold less. Again, fact that Switch had only Indies and again sold better than PS4 that had MHW and DBZ, is very impressive in any case.

I have no opinions on the 7 mil number.  But I do find it increasingly hilarious that you keep saying it's doing typical PS4 numbers.  Not just because most of 2017 it was PS4's peak globally and second highest year in the US but because of the fact that it doing the "typical" numbers of a system trending to be one of the best selling in history is somehow a negative :P

its not a negative, I Bring it up ps4 numbers because ps4 hasn't even get close to 6 million, and yet people expect switch to do so, when it hasn't even had one month where its showing much better sales.

IMO its still not sure if we will get Pokemon or Animal Crossing, but I think one of those two is most likly, at this point Smash Bros also seems like safe bet.

Assuming that its first year wont be its peak year, I don't think we should base our assumptions off of that.
