I'm quite excited to see the numbers they put up with PS4 when it actually has a pricecut.

I mean, it might not regularly sell for $199 but it's regularly on sale for around that price. Hell I remember it being $189 even for a time or two.

PS4 is always more expensive than the X1 (once it discarded Kinect 2). That's what makes its complete dominance this gen so amazing.

Me too. I know it doesn't make sense business wise to cut the price of a healthy selling console but at this point I'd really like to see them go below the $300 permanently. Has any console in its 5th year ever been cut only 25% of its launch price?

So you could say 2018 Switch sales were good (without comparing to 2017), and do 2017 without excusing stocks, that is the point.

You can't have the argument two fold, "2017 we didn't sell great because we had stock issues, but 2018 is good because we sold equal to 2017". It is, 2017 and 2018 had good sales, period.

I don't think 199 X1 will beat PS4 for sure. I actually think that even at this price point it is more probable for it to stay third than win, even more if it is in a month that the others receive major exclusives.

So GoW made everyone get their best May =p

I'm arguing exactly the person doing an either/or.

If you say 2018 sales are good because it is similar to 2017 then you shouldn't be excusing 2017 on stock. Because saying 2017 would be bigger with more stock, then 2018 isn't good since it only done equal 2017 because 2017 had stock issues.

So around 40k per week in average.
Wii U was selling less than that ww.

Right, but the Switch is replacing both the Wii U and the 3DS. So comparing it against just the Wii U is rather foolish.

Consumers could buy an XB1 for as low as $229 last month. The PS4 did not have any substantial deals in May, making its cheapest SKU $70 more expensive than the cheapest XB1 SKU. However, it still managed to outsell its competitor by a good margin.

Again, it is hard to say Switch sales are good when it has 2 games in the top 10 and only manages to beat PS4's worst May by a slim margin, and not coming close to the others.

167k isn't terrible for Switch, but it is probably a tad disappointing. Last year was clearly supply restrained this year it's easy to walk into any store and see fully stocked Switch everywhere, sales should be up not flat-lining. 

Letting Labo be the "major" release for the first half of the year was a mistake, Nintendo is going to have to start financing more projects to outsourced dev houses IMO (like they do with Platinum) so they don't get stuck with these drought periods. Before they launch a system they should really map out the full first two year lineup for that system and ensure they have ample software in development, more than what is even needed in case something gets delayed. 

PS4 > Switch > XBox1. This is what I expect to see every month until November. PS4 may take November too if they throw in a good price cut. PS4 is going to beat Switch this year. Though I think Smash Bros + Pokemon Let's Go is going to make Nintendo take December and defintely Q1 of 2019.
