Pitting April vs December is just cruel!
Damn the gap almost doubled in one month! This is gonna be a tough fight for the Switch for the next couple of years.
I do believe Switch will eventually overtake the Wii, but I agree that it is going to take a couple of years.
Agreed. The Switch should have far longer legs than the Wii and this is a marathon, not a sprint :P
Software sales now however are much better I think... without seeing numbers however :) Still Switch is a very big success!
Ounch...That hit
Switch is holding relatively well all things considered. And this year it might not fall back much despite it being one of the two top years of the Wii.
