Nice with a new chart. While Switch's victory feels all but guaranteed here, it'll be interesting to see how long it takes it to get there.
I should have done this once the Switch passed the Xbox One worldwide. But ah well. I was looking at new possible charts and this one stuck out.
That red line is catching up fast!
One of the chart's title is wrong.
Launch aligned we already have a Switch lead of 10M units.
Gonna be a big win for Switch, XBO will sell a bit over 30 million lifetime (31/32m), Switch is going for the 40-45 million range.
Should overtake Xbox One in the USA around Christmas 2021.
Go Switch!
Yay, a new chart! Please keep doing this one, it's interesting to see how long this gap will take to close.
It's gonna be like 50 Cent's second album
It had to be the 360 .. not the xbox one .. this is not interesting, switch is on par or even slightly ahead of PS4, which is already 5M ahead of xb1 .. why you did the xb1 chart and not a 360 one ..
He does many, many charts. This is just one of the comparisons to watch. And for those of us here at VGC who like looking at charts and comparisons, it's always interesting.
That red line is catching up fast!
