Switch is doing insane numbers. 30-40% up YoY consistently every week. This year is gonna end up some record breaking for the Switch. Also, surprising how Xbone manages to be up YoY every week compared to last year when it's on it's way out.

PS4 bracing for the Last of Us 2.



Good numbers all around.

Switch living its best moments and PS4 surviving amazingly well despite being nearly seven years old.

Xbox One S being the cheapest console on the market and Game Pass are helping sell the console. How much it is up compared to last year has been on the decline. 

I wanted to say Xbox One X bundles and smart delivery, but maybe that's just a few oddballs like me. Regardless, it's nice that Xbox are trying to cover a lot of bases with their ecosystem.

I would also add the fact that games people buy for XBO can be transferred and upgraded later on when they buy a XSX, so the buyer's certainly mind much less buying into a dying console due to this. And it binds them already to the Microsoft platform for the next gen even before it's out, so win-win for both of them.

Switch still killin it.
PS4 only 8.5% down is not bad at all for an almost 7 year old console.

Probably would have been better to wait till tomorrow for NPD in case any adjustments need to be made like the last 2 months though.



Switch is probably going to end 2020 with 30-40%YoY growth, the Switch would sell 25M-27M in 2020 alone which is insane. We have to see what the Holiday titles are for the Switch tho and if Nintendo could keep up with demand.



While I get that Switch's numbers here are supply constrained, they'd better get their butts into gear if they don't want to squander the momentum they've built.



Another great week for the Switch!



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Here in Australia OG Switch and all PS4 models are supply constrained but there are plenty of switch lite models even on sale.

It seems that Japan got stock of PS4 but US is still out of stock.

The last of us part II launch week will be huge!!
