Leaked.

Quote from: MagicporkJust a quick note on US console sales in February

QuoteGame hardware (including SNES Classic) sales volume in the US was up 38% YoY in February 2018 (up 38% in Apr–Feb FY3/18) and software sales volume was up 5% (flat in Apr–Feb).

The relative sales volumes of game hardware (incl. SNES Classics) was:

QuotePS4: 1.3
XBox One: 1.11
Switch: 1
Others: 0.49
3DS: 0.37

On the software side:

QuoteBy SKU, the top-selling title was Monster Hunter: World for PS4, followed by Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo), and Super Mario Odyssey (Nintendo).

I think digitals are not included in these numbers.

Better question is, why didn't you tell us?!!

I didn't expect a PS4 win if I'm honest and I thought all 3 would be closer. I even predicted Xbox One to come above PS4 because of the Xbox One deals.

Switch is the best selling console over the first 12 months in history. I expect this will be the case until Wii/PS4's November month.

The spring release really makes it hard to compare. It'll go back and fourth every relative Christmas for a while probably.

Compared with PS4 probably... compared with Wii it will never be ahead again imo.
Well with the 13th month it will fall below Wii unless it sells close to 1 million in March NPD.
