Switch outsold XB1 and PS4 last month in the US

I'll just quote my post to the last person who brought up console sales over time.

Impressive or not, I'm arguing the base of the comparison itself. The Switch is a completely different type of video game system than the XB1 and PS4. The Switch does not have a competing "Switch" on the market, whereas PS4 and XB1 were released in the same month, directly competing for the same market of gamers. If the PS4 or XB1 was the only home console available on the market, I bet the sales would be much higher.

The Switch is the only current gen, portable, home console, not to mention it's much newer than other video game machines. That's a huge factor to consider when comparing interest from the consumers with other consoles.
