according to benji the insider switch aint doing so hot february, i don't put much stock in him, but it goes with switch me dominated on the gamestop and best buy charts.

He didn't say that.  He just said there is nothing indicating that Switch is doing significantly better compared to the other consoles.

Edit - The nonsense over the last few pages is embarrassing.  

Ya he can never just take what people say at face value, he has to twist it to fit his narrative.

Not doing significantly better all of a sudden means not doing so hot.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

XBO has a chance of beating Switch but not PS4 which is what I feel you are implying.

 

Benji also never said that Switch looked like it was going to lose February either.

Best take away it seems is this month could be a toss up.

benji data has always been bullish on switch, last time he wasn't sure if switch would win, it was  november where it got destroyed.

So then why would you immediately run to these forums and say "Switch isnt doing hot" if his data is "bullish"?

bullish means his data heavily favors switch, like amazon.

The fear is real. It will be fun to watch Switch grabbing 80% of NPDs this year.



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

Exactly, he's trying to twist Benji's words to fit his Switch failing narrative

Basically.

And it's an unreasonable fear: WW they're basically neck-and-neck, so it's not like anyone is getting killed here.

I just want Xbox up YOY honestly. It had its best January ever last month. Here is hoping for the best February ever as well. Without knowing the exact numbers for January it's hard to predict February. But if all 3 consoles where infact very close then I don't see a reason why Xbox can't take this month with all these sales and bundles they got going on. Will be an interesting month regardless.

January was a 5-week month for NPD this year, as opposed to the normal 4 weeks, so "best January to date" doesn't mean much in and of itself. It could have sold 160k, but that means that, when correcting for it being a 5-week month, this January would actually be worst than last. Unless it sold at least 197k, then in terms of weekly average sales, it will be down YoY. We'll have to wait until if and when we get any numbers, but let's not get too excited over "best January to date" yet, especially considering what the XBO's performance last year was like (it appears to have already exhausted its sales potential at $279).

Try to make a positive comment about Xbox without shooting down another console and still get kicked off the ladder... every time.

 

and while that is true hasn't it been confirmed that January was 1 million consoles sold. I'm not sure if that includes 3ds but even if it does that leaves about 850-900k left for switch/PS4/Xbox. And since we know revenue was within 3% from 1st to 3rd. The way I see it the only way Xbox could sell under 200k units is if the x was more way more than half of all xbox's sold. I highly doubt that. But someone fee free to tell me Xbox didn't sell nearly as much as the other consoles. But remember by doing that you are also saying X dominated.
