So how long are we betting that the Switch holds on to the lead? Until late August? Either way, this makes me optimistic for the holidays

Which games are upcoming?

Mostly smaller titles and ports like Go Vacation and Okami HD.
I'd say Switch should remain on top until the first or second week of August, whenever Madden comes out.

Hmm, not sure if Switch can keep up with this smaller titles, after all current numbers are induced by Octopath.

Wow, PS4 actually did come in 3rd in NA this week. Looks like NPD tool actually is getting the order right even if the ratios are a bit off. I'm still impressed with the tool. Because this dip in PS4 sales seems to be a special case, but it is reflected in both the actual numbers here and in the NPD tool.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Sony needs to resolve their supply issue.

Well, there is Monster Hunter the end of august for the west. Maybe it can help the Switch to hold up.

It's probably due to the combined forces of low supply and Amazon Prime day boost

Yeah I'm shocked by PS4 coming in at 3rd. Xbox will probably still come in 3rd overall for July NPD. Switch is doing great btw.

Switch numbers in Japan is absolutely amazing, great in all territories but Japan doing 2.5x the closest competition while still being neck and neck in all other regions is just great to see. Iwata's dream has been picked up by gamers just like he hoped it would be.

 

edit - fairly nuts to see that 3ds/X1 are so close in EU, Nintendos 7 year old mostly retired handheld shouldn't be the closest competition to the current Gen Xbox

The NA figures are pretty close to what the prediction tool tracked in July.

Didn't the prediction tool have the Switch at least double the PS4 in points?
