Last sales comparison article for the March figures. I wanted to do this at least one more time. Though, unlikely Switch has any chance of surpassing the PS4 in Europe. Should I just stop doing this comparison?

This monthly series compares the aligned European sales of the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 4.

The PlayStation 4 launched in Europe in November 2013, while the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017. Therefore, the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup.

Gap change over last 12 months: 460,009 - PS4

Total Lead: 9,060,300 - PS4

In the last 12 months, the PlayStation 4 has outsold the Switch by 0.46 million units. The Switch is currently behind the PlayStation 4 by 9.06 million units.

Switch is finishing around 35-36M in Europe. Not more. So around 10M behind the PS4.
