XBO: 0.62
3DS: 0.15
Others: 0.39
YoY:
Switch: +30%
PS4: -22%
XBO: -29%
Best selling software (physical only): Smash, Jump Force and KH3
It would need exceptional legs to do that at this point, which RPGs typically don't have.
Man did February even have any big releases on the Switch? Or is this all on the strength of Smash legs + the two Directs last month

Just want to clarify the top software titles were on SKU basis and I should have listed them as:
Smash (Switch), Jump Force (PS4), KH3 (PS4)
There is an innate appeal to the Switch that is pushing it right now and it has reached a software threshold that a lot of people are willing to get one with Smash, Mario Kart, Zelda, and Super Mario Odyssey. It has a bright future too at this point with a diverse, appealing lineup for the rest of the year. It clearly doesn't need a big release in a month to sell right now.Man did February even have any big releases on the Switch? Or is this all on the strength of Smash legs + the two Directs last month
No first party title released on Switch in February.
The next "big" game is Yoshi in March, then LABO in April, nothing in May and then from June to December is hell.
This really puts in perspective how much XB1 recovered this month.NSW January: 284,000 / 4 = 71,000
NSW February: 363,000 / 4 = 90,750
+28%
PS4 January: 195,000 / 4 = 48,750
PS4 February: 283,000 / 4 = 70,750
+45%
XB1 January: 101,000 / 4 = 25,250
XB1 February: 225,000 / 4 = 56,250
+123%.
This post didn't age well.
Nintendo should ship somewhere around 3.5 million Switch in Q4 WW. They have been consistently up 25-30% in Japan and US in tracked sales.
If Smash is still near the top of the software chart (let's say Top 5) in two months with numerous high profile releases like Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil 2, Anthem, Crackdown 3, Metro, and Jump Force... Switch software should be staying crazy as well.

Xbox One is weird.
Always a horrible weak January, yet February is always solid for some reason.
Last year inventory was low.Switch is around 50% up in Japan, and for first two months looking at weeks sales around 30%, so WW Switch could be easily be around 30-35% up for Q1, and that would mean around 4m shipped units in Q4, so that would mean around 18.5m for this FY.
IMO 18m for current FY looks locked, unless Nintendo overshiped Switch units last quarter so they ship less units this quarter.
PS4 February 2015: 342KHow does 2015 ps4 compare with switch numbers? Switch slightly better performance? I'm not really sure what I look up online for this.
It was the 2nd worst February and they recovery? Ok...This really puts in perspective how much XB1 recovered this month.
Considering they sold more than twice what they had in January, yes.
January is always a slow month. It is not a good metric. You need to compare with other February months. This February was horrible for PS4 and Xbox one..Considering they sold more than twice what they had in January, yes.
What do you think the expectations were? Most people here were predicting 100k less than what it ended up being, and these consoles are at the end of their life cycles, especially Xbox as they've already announced they're going to talk about their next gen console this year at E3.January is always a slow month. It is not a good metric. You need to compare with other February months. This February was horrible for PS4 and Xbox one..
