Xbox has been having an incredible year, its best yet. Xbox One X seems to have done the trick at least for the moment.

Xevross · Apr 20, 2018, 02:57 PM

dang this is a great month for all three. Xbox continues to perform extremely well compared to last year.

PS4 should win April easily.

Xbox One Q1 sales:

2014: ~710k
2015: ~655k
2016: ~620k
2017: ~620k
2018: ~850k

Really good for Xbox.

Ps4 April sales will be interesting. How much did it do last year?

Kerotan · Apr 20, 2018, 03:32 PM

Great victory for ps4 despite xbox being 60 cheaper. April will be a bloodbath.

PS4 doesn't give a shame for the Switch... King will be king.

PS4 will probably be back to up YTD next month

We thinking 500k in April?

Hmmm no .

I just looked at the past few years of April sales. 500k would destroy all of them. Even the year GTA IV came out. (Even if you include May).

Lol what?

Even 300k April would be great. The decline from March is usually massive.

Sure, but 500k would literally be the 3rd biggest April in the past decade for any console including a portable launch.

Exactly. Not the biggest system seller out there.

Do you remember all the hype and craziness around Destiny? Even that only pushed PS4 just over 500k in September. 500k April is impossible.
