This one will be an uphill battle.
Unless Nintendo unleashes a global marketing campaign, buys exclusive bundles for big games and the like, the Playstation will always outsell Nintendo consoles. It's simply the sad reality for me that barely anybody in my town owns non gen 7 Nintendo platforms, not because they hate Smash Bros or Mario Kart or Splatoon, but because they don't know those games exist, and how fun they are! They won't buy a Switch either, because they don't know it exists...
lol
The almighty PS4 is unbeatable
I came from the future to say that Switch is few month away to surpass PS4 sales
Yeah, PS4 is ahead but when we take the surrounding facts into account, Switch is primed to do very well. A Holiday launch vs. a not optimal March launch, usually Holiday launches go much better.
Weird. The ps4 after a month was at 4.2 millions units sold, and the switch at 2.5/2.7.
Ps4 numbers seems wrong for the beginning of the month.
Switch is a beast!
June might not be but may and July will be interesting
Correction to the Switch supply issue would eventually give a more accurate trend
