What are you talking about? PS4 winning March?
PS4 won this entire generation. This March winning is just a bonus

Most people predicted switch would win almost every month for 2018.

Not just in the US either, people where casually throwing around 20m-25m numbers for the Switch, while saying PS4 would do ~18m.

So far I think PS4 overall has sold more units both in the US, and globally this year than the Switch right?
People here where crazy hyped at the end of 2017 for the Switch.

We also had people saying PS4 would be above last year (over 20m) while Switch would be flat (13m).

 

But no, lets just pretend like that never happened and everybody thought Switch would destroy PS4.

You mean in US? Last five months were November -> March, which PS4 won 3 months and Switch 2. Plus, if we look at the last 6 months, they’re tied.

OP: Good results all around. I’m curious to see how Switch holds up in April.

Most people predicted switch would win almost every month for 2018.

No, most people didnt said that, but onother hand there were some people saying Switch sales will fail of a cliff in 2018. :D

1 of th biggest problems im starting to notice is that many of us point out a few people (or in some cases a single user) and bunch them together as a majority. Its wrong and causes many silly and pointless arguements that follow.

 

Ironically your quoting the guy who said (only him as i didnt hear any1 else say it) nsw wont have a single win for the year but it did it in the first month. 

 

Its easy to point out silly statements but its kinda the norm to put them alltogether as if the fanbase said that 

 

Regarding your post, it was more of fy of 2018 (apr-mar) and your combining different opinions into 1. Not everybody that said nsw will do 20mil-25mil for ex thinks it will beat ps4. Not every1 saying ps4 will do 18mil wont take first place.

 

Anyways nintendo quarter report coming next week so we should clear up that whole switch doing 25mil thing. That only started cuz of 1 article saying nintendo will ship 25mil next fy (which they said that and not nintendo themselves)

this is still a very real possibility.

You could be right on April, but to lose against last year May through August, the Switch sales need to fall off a big cliff, and I don't see that happening.

 I wouldn't even say fall of a cliff those months are just slow months for console sales. it will sale around the same.

Reason why Switch sold that much last year was beacuse stock problems, this year will easily sell more during those months, for instance Switch sold 165k in May last year beacuse huge stock problems, do you relly expecting that this year Switch will again sale that much!?

Seeing as holiday period consoles can hit anywhere between 400k - 2 million a week getting fussed over this is hilarious

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

why not? i told already those are slow months, and thats what ps4/xb numbers look like around those months, and switch has been selling on that level so far, well for feb/march weaker then ps4.

Xbox almost took 2nd place? Impressive. I know a lot of areas in the US are still Xbox strongholds but I think this means they're starting to win some of the borderline votes.

Great sales. Switch 300K+ in a month with no major releases besides maybe Kirby. Well done.
