How are so different The sales comparision betqeen Switch anda DS here and on The article this sites does monthly.

Based on here Switch cuts the distance from DS by +200k but un VGC article DS gains 50k. It doesnt seems yo make sense.

Because here the comparison is with the holidays lining up, and in the articles it is not made to line up, but just whatever month's after release is. So on the article the month that is corresponding to july 2023 for the DS is March 2011, And here the month is the same as Switch's one - July (2011).

Ok. I can understand now. Thanx for answer ;)

This! Just different approaches with how we set up the comparisons. 

This is what make them interesting and unique, despite them being the same.

All numbers have been adjusted and updated with the month of August!

All charts have been adjusted and updated with the month of August!

Charts have been updated to glorious 3K resolution! (I tried 4 and even 6K, however they become more than 500KB and the site doesn't allow it)

3K! wooh wooh

All numbers have been updated with the month of September!

XB360 and XBSX lifetime numbers were slightly adjusted!

Just a quick update for whoever is interested in Switch (currently 41.5M) vs the PS2 (46.5M) and the DS (53.5M) in USA:

I won't be doing full table comparison for now, because with the winding down in Switch sales, especially in US (it's probably the region with the bigger decline out of the three regions for the Switch) I can't see how the Switch will pass it (with this year sales probably barely matching 2017 ones (with 2M to go even this is doubtful) . However if there are many people interested in I will do it. This is probably harder for the Switch than even passing DS's global sales.

P.S. New poll has been added! Vote now!

Great thread.
Unless we see a sudden "cliff" even if Switch is tracking behind of DS I do see it passing it, but even if the difference is small I don't think it will manage the extra mile to pass PS2.
