Can you also put the price at the time? Even with the price cuts, it was still more expensive than the Switch is right now.

i was very impressed with switch JAN, but February, selling 60k less, to me looks like the downtrend will start when comparing it to ps4 sales. you also have to remember for a nintendo console, having zelda, 3d mario, and mario kart in the same year and at this quality is unprecedented. |
Oh so now you are saying compared to ps4 sales but before it was just in general. Why don't you give it up and just see what happens the rest of the year.
Switch from April will start having quite stronger lineup than it did had until March, so in next months Switch will probably have stronger sales than it did had in January-February:
-Nintendo Labo - April 20
-South Park: The Fractured but Whole - April 24
-Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm - April 26
-Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - May 3
-Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition - May 18
-Little Nightmares - May 18
-Mega Man Legacy Collection 1/2 - May 22
-Dark Souls Remastered - May 25
-Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection - May 29
-Sushi Striker - June 8
-Mario Tennis Aces - June 22
-Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana - June 26
-Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy - July 10
-Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - July 13
-Octopath Traveler - July 13
Of Course plus tons of Indies games evry month, and we could easily get some other announcement for June-July period.

Think the indies will still push hardware sales? Also, what do you think of the PS4’s line-up for that same period?

Because nothing points to it being something else. I know some people think that the Switch will sell 25M - 30M this year but there’s no reason to think that it will be another Wii. |
You always use "some people" as an arguement foundation. Switch doesnt need to sell at wii peak years to hit 100mil+

This is annoying, you been mentioning this ever since switch has been a competitive force agaisnt x1/ps4.
Ironic pary about this is the fact that when nsw was revealed to be $299 msrp we didnt hear any arguements that it had a huge advantage over ps4 price. In fact many people including nintendo fans thought the system was dead on arrival.
You keep playing your narrative card its becoming desperate at this point. "But the price the price" in almost half of your poat in the past week or so.
I can spin too if you like? Ps4 had an advantage over nsw last holiday. Ps4 was over 50% off of its launch price and nsw at a disavantage 0% off of its launch price. See that example fits my narrative! Understand?

No, but more releases is good in any way for keeping momentum. PS4 lineup is stronger beacuse much stronger 3rd party support, but that automatically dont means it will sell better, for instance in January PS4 had MHW and Dragon Ball Z while Switch nothing and Switch sold better. Thats why I comparing Switch lineup with Switch lineup and thats why Switch most likly will sell beetter from April than it did sell in January-February.

January*-4 week vs 5 week Major releases are new games that charted in their debut month. |
This will be pretty interesting. Looking back at this comparison, while the PS4 had really good games in 2015, it didn't really start peaking until 2016-17. And the games I selected in bold were considered disappointing either from a sales perspective and/or a critical perspective.
I think the strong third party support and the price cuts really did the PS4 well in 2015. We will see how things will fare for the Switch, considering we don't even know what will come out during the Fall and Holiday seasons besides Smash Bros., which is an exciting and nerve-wracking prospect. Plus, would Nintendo consider a price cut despite strong sales?

Please, don’t deny that price makes a difference.
And yes, the PS4 was 50% of its launch price but it was also over 4 years old.

Price cut is always posible (in Holiday 2018. Switch will be 1.5 years old), but we will first start seeing bundles with one game packed for current price point, Switch is still selling whitout any game for $300. So I am not sure about price cut for Holiday 2018. but I expect for instance MK8D Switch Bundle or Splatoon 2 bundle for $300 price point.

Why did ps4 outsell the vita in Japan? Price difference am i right? Why did ps2 outsell gamecube?
Price has factors in it duh, but its not everything. Your only now using the price factor because it suits your narrative. Going by your post history you only use facts that again fit your narrative.
Be happy that both consoles (and x1 in the usuk) are doing well. The way your making this out to be means we should never begin to put the two in comparison because switch will always lose
