Pretty standard stuff. Switch is a beast



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Switch actually pulled ahead of PS4 in Europe this week. Heh, hard to know what numbers would be like overall if the coronavirus wasn't a factor. Switch should have higher numbers worldwide, but I'm not sure if the virus is affecting PS4 sales as well.



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

Tax returns in the US is in february.. it's usually the third best selling month in the country. So it probably affected sales all month long. Also, a lot of big releases over the past month certainly helped as well.

Yeah, but the boost I'm talking about is just for that specific week, not the entire month. Next week last year PS4 was down to 230k again. So there must have been some big release that day last year.

Well there wasnt. Anthem was the weak before that.. but I guess it could affect.

Or it was just a limited deal somewhere in the world..

Wasn't it GOW release week?

I'm surprised the numbers are as high as they are across the board with all this COVID-19 madness.

I really thought by this week a combination of shortages and people just being more focused on pandemic panic than gaming would be eating into sales a lot more than this.
