No. Your numbers do not take 3DS into account (though I am not sure if that was included in the number) and it was confirmed that the difference between Switch (the system in first place) and the console in third-place (according to people here it is PS4, but I did not see that stated in the report) was 3%. Of course the report did say that unit sales were above 1 million so we could be underestimating the total.

The 3% difference was between the highest revenue (PS4) and lowest revenue (Xbox One).

EDIT: Wait, that's still ambiguous. I mean, there was a 3% difference in revenue between PS4 and Xbox One.

My god I am blind. Thank you for the correction :)

Who won second? If the Ps4 won the best revenue, then all we know is that the Pro outsold the X. Everything else is up in the air. We know that Pro sold more because if that money came from the slim, it probablywould have won because of the 299 price. Being the same as switch it means that Pro outsold the X and that's all we can reason.

A lot of you are saying Switch>xboxone>ps4, but I dont see anything that indicates that xbox one outsold ps4? Anyway gratz to all platforms! I am slightly surprised that Switch didnt outsell competitiors more and that xbox one wouldnt be way ahead of ps4 with 199$ for half a month and mostly cheaper whole month.

Also, the difference in price between the XB1X and Pro is bigger than the difference between the XB1S and PS4. The PS4 could have the lower average selling price (ASP) and since it beat the XB1 in revenue, it might have sold more units. I can't say anything definitively, so it largely depends on the ASP of both platforms.

I thought the Switch is more expensive than the PS4 in the states? How can it be: numberof(Switch) > numberof(PS4) and $(PS4) > $(Switch) as the NPD statement says? Or did the Ps4Pro suddenly start to sell like mad?
Equally, if we assume that still lots of XBox1X were sold, then numberof(XBox)

Over 1 million of units sold?  Did someone actually predict that?



Oneeee-Chan!!! on 21 February 2018

Yare Yare daze.



CosmicSex on 21 February 2018

Also if the difference was Only 3 percent we can assume that the Xbox was second because the slim was cheaper so it could have sold more and made less money than the PS4

PS4 almost won by units and even won by revenue ! And Ryng thought Switch would win by 80 or 100k ! That and Bayonneta flopping in japan must be hard for him.

:P

So, you have sales figures? There's nothing suggesting PS4 almost won. Those 3% were the revenue difference.

Btw, congrats to Switch for beating PS4 on Monster Hunter World month with nothing noteworthy. 



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
