PS4 was up YOY by 23% in USA the second year, XB1 was up by 13%, and it god 2 massive pricedrops and a lot of insane bundles.
Even Wii U was up by like 25% or so the second year, the only recent system i rememb being down compated to the first year is 3DS, which had a massive pricedrop and a weak lineup in 2012, and PSVita, which, well... Was just left to die.

PS4 sales:

2014 - 4.68m
2015 - 5.73m

2013 - 2m (launch)

2016 - 5.1m
2017 - 5.4m

EDIT: Nevermind, doing some math wrong. Ryng Manuel Tolu 's numbers are likely more precise.

Nice to see Xenoblade 2 on the top 10. I wonder how is the drop from last month.

How come no one has said "fad" yet? That would really take this Switch is a portable no a console no a who cares it doesn't matter to the next level.

It seems the discussion whether the Switch is a fad or not ended up being a fad, after all.
How fittingly ironic.

Seriously though, even if I'm late: very strong January for the industry, great Switch, very good for PS4 and sincerly surprised that the Xbox One performed this better compared to the past few years.

And of course, fantastic starts for both MH:W and Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Dissidia NT bombed hard.

Not sure if this is known yet, but it's already $20 off on amazon at $39.99. Steel book edition at that.

Seems the bombing is real.
