So you think Switch will go from a 50/60k a week in January to 90/100k a week in February. That seems extremely optimistic.

You don't know February trend then. In February console sales usually rise by 70/80%. Tax return month makes big boosts in sales, because people have money to spend. In some rare case the increase is also higher than x2.

It's not only Switch, every console are gonna have a big increase, all will easy surpass 300K.

Whaaaaaaaaa!?

*Lower than February

Do you have some February numbers I could see? (PS4, XBO, others if you can/want). I knew it was a good month, but not that good



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I stand corrected. A reasonable prediction it is.

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

Looks like the PS4 Slim is having stock issues. Ships in 2-3 weeks. Did Sony underestimate demand for the PS4 in 2018?

Definitely. Sony predicted 2.5m shipped this quarter. That's too low for a quarter with Monster Hunter World, Shadow of the Colossus, Far Cry 5, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Ni no Kuni 2, etc. I think they'll end up with 3.5m shipped or so.
