Those XBO NA numbers are either too low or the PS4/Switch are too high.

or the console is just on a downward spiral.... like really, why should it be selling well right now? XB1X?

It was comfortably up YOY in the first quarter according to NPD, they are probably just assuming the trend will continue.

Personally i dont think the YOY increase will last much longer. The combination of the momentum from X model & PUBG releasing over the holidays, nationwide discounts in Feb & Sea of Thieves in March caused it to have a solid increase in Q1 but i dont really see anything that will cause that momentum to continue into the Spring/Summer.

Because XBO has been selling on par witht he Switch in the US this year. Id understand PS4 being ahead by that much sincw GOW just dropped but the Switch bing so much ahead does not make sense.

Maybe Donkey Kong gave Switch a boost

I doubt a remaster of a donkey kong game would put ti ahead of the ps4 that just had GoW4 release. Not hating on DK but i just dont think its that big of a system mover.
