Neck and neck as they go around the final bend. Gotta love a close race.

The week after this has Switch at 90k in Japan according to Famitsu, so it should be a wipeout globally, but there's also the chance of a heavy pre-Lite slump for the week ending 14th Sept so that one could be close.

I still don't get why the PS4 numbers in Europe are so high. I would imagine anyone that wanted a ps4 in Europe would already have one but maybe they gift their babies ps4s or something.

More systems were actually sold in North America this week than in Europe.

The main differences between North America and Europe are 1) the home console market is far more important in Europe than the handheld market is, and 2) Europeans vastly prefer the PS4 over the XB1.  In fact, if we took out UK numbers, then I'm pretty sure the ratio of PS4:XB1 would become significantly more dominant for the PS4.  All of this means that most sales go to the PS4 in Europe while in North America sales are split among a variety of systems.

Ironically, Europe is a land of huge diversity in cultures and languages, but their tastes in gaming are fairly uniform.  They mostly like home systems not made by Microsoft, and right now that heavily favors the PS4.

PS4 holding up nicely.

W35-90k (revision)

Switch had a ~30k/week baseline through most of the spring followed by a nice boost from Mario Maker then it gradually went back to the baseline before getting another spike from the holidays with the typical post holiday drop.

Also we got info from posters like Chris & Hiska on Resetera that there was not shortages leading up to the revision, they actually talked about how retailers are going to have a very hard time getting rid of stock of the old model now since there are still an ample amount on shelves.

Latest trend is NS first by a very small lead on PS4. The others less and less relevant, PSV almost dead, 3DS slowly fading away, XBOne barely acceptable, and mostly thanks to its sales in USA. NS total sales should surpass XBOne ones by the end of the year, if Ninty has planned producing it enough.

So the big boost starts next week ? or the week after ?

Well, last week Swtich opens a major advantage over PS4 on the weekly.

Europe and Rest Of The World is the place.
