Well you can call that a shot

Even if it do over performing sales with combined Jan-Mar having over 1 million... you still needs 2.7m in December.

That would be 4 months, but I get your point :p

2.5M December and 300k a month for Jan-Apr would do it. Like I said though it'd be crazy if it happens. The post-April comparison favours PS4 anyway, so there's no need for Switch to be ahead. If its ahead at the end of March then its still ahead when they're placed on roughly equal footing. Last March there was only 100k between them launch aligned.

Edit: well here's Switch's totals for those months a year ago

Dec: 1.5M (any more accurate numbers out there?)
Jan: 268k
Feb: 279k
March: 311k
April: 171k

So 300k a month for those four months doesn't seem too unreachable this year, April just needs to be much better. I could see something like 2.3M in December and then 350k a month for Jan- April being the roughly most likely route, if it does happen. 2D Mario should help with the earlier months, and then if Animal Crossing makes April it should be all good. My current prediction is something like 1.9M Dec and then 300k average over those four months for total 3.1M, falling 600k short of PS4 launch aligned.

Well Switch has a shot at staying ahead, needs 3.7M in the next 5 months.

Spyro (9th place) sold 760k units according to John Harker. Great performance, and shows what others around it in the chart sold.

Yay  

Chrome's new update forces everyone to switch to the redesign. Now I can barely tell what all my tabs are for. I have 105 open atm. Plus it just looks really ugly.

Every 6 months I'm needing to rant about a website forcing a bad UI change.

Probably because he comes across as entitled and never seems to be able to say anything positive about playstation. I still like him though.

I assure you it's a compliment.

"VizionEck practically better known than the guys who remastered Bioshock"Nope, it has absolutely nothing to do with BioShock.

It's like some kind of third person space pirate game.  

I had too much faith in them.

This is weird.
