When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Boom, baby.

Global hardware estimates (Followed by lifetime sales):

  1. Switch - 257,915 (37,200,939)
  2. PlayStation 4 - 181,363 (99,328,350)
  3. Xbox One - 44,185 (43,189,390)
  4. 3DS - 13,410 (74,773,065)
  5. PS Vita - 48 (16,131,372)

How many retailers do we get actual data from in NA/EU? Because it just seems odd to me that Japan would get a 200% increase in weekly sales while NA/EU get virtually no boost from the new Switch model.

NA/EU/JP sales

June 8-69k/54k/35k

June 15-67k/56k/35k

June 22-75k/60k/30k

June 29-98k/84k/60k (Mario Maker)

July 6-80k/74k/76k

July 13-77k/72k/56k

July 20-78k/58k/47k (new sku reveal)

July 27-73k/51k/44k

Aug 3-72k/50k/37k (new sku in NA)

Aug 10-66k/47k/44k

Aug 17-70k/48k/45k (new sku in EU)

Aug 24-75k/49k/31k

Aug 31-82k/56k/91k (new sku in JP)

We see a pretty steady baseline of ~70-80k in NA, ~50-60k in EU & ~35-45k in JP with the exception of the Mario Maker boost. Then we get to the new sku release and NA/EU have no noticeable change while JP sees massive growth.

Well now that is a lead.
And PS4 about a month to cross 100M sold.

Only a few more weeks for the PS4 to cross that magic 100M mark.

I never thought the Switch would be this successful, just crazy.

*looks at Xbox X sales*

I guess power doesn't matter, exclusive offerings do.



Looks like the switch is being seriously undertracked in the West.



Nice to see the ps4 will be joining the 100 million club soon.

NPD says Switch is up year-to-date so does the whole month hardware currently replicates their estimate ?

Honestly, with the new SKU launch, I would expect a bigger grow in the west than it currently has ...

Ya last Aug was ~205k, this site has this Aug at ~265k.
