I didn't expect Switch to "lose momentum" this much. It's going to be interesting to see whether new games will bounce it back.

Yeah I'm sure It'll decline even further once Smash and Pokemon release *eye roll*

Not surprised! But Labo at 3rd! And DK at 4th! Wow!

Woah, that's a huge April for PS4. I guess God of War really did make big waves.

Switch is doing just fine too. Xbox, while last, is up approximately 20% from their last April. And is up about 34% up yoy when we combine Janruary-April together.

Another good month for everyone.




Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

The thing is the Switch is 5K away from the PS4'S second April and look how well the ps4 is doing now.

No one was saying that the PS4 was losing Momentum etc... Back then so why is this the narrative being pushed for Switch?

BTW. Does anyone have a quick tally of NPD 1st 2nd and 3rd finishers for 2018?

YTD
PS4: ~1.3M (+7%)
NSW: ~1.03M (-13%)
XB1: ~980K (+34%)

Not bad for the Switch considering it had been an alright game releases for the first 4 months.

Its not at all though. if we  compare it to the market leading ps4 average in sales in april, it shows less of a decline then it did in Feb and march.

How is nintendo expecting to sell 20m switch this year when it's not gonna outsell ps4 and Sony is expecting 16m this year?

Pokemon

Super Smash Bros

Yokai Watch 4 (if it turns out big)

Monster Hunter 

Animal Crossing

A new 2D Mario



Pocky Lover Boy! 

So people prediction for Switch was averaging higher than what NPD get and people are pretending that is nothing and 20M isn't endangered?
Sure FY started now, but considering the previous months the trend is down and they will need some good reversion to get it 33% higher than last year when excluded the Release numbers.
