Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware 23 June 2018

Another week of good sales for PS4 and NS and without surprises. Decent week for XBOne, good for 3DS, considering it's an ageing system and it now competes with a strong Ninty system, not just PSV anymore. PSV dying alas, but not dead yet, teh undead portable's corpse still crawls amongst the living.

30k behind one of the best-selling consoles ever when it's doing nearly as well as its peak year is mediocre? You must have some high standards.

Don't get me wrong it's not doing too terrible for being the cheapest next gen console. I give it props for having exclusives though because if it wasn't for them it would be looking at WiiU/Xbox one numbers. I forget when Octopath Traveler comes out but I'm sure during that week it'll push it over PS4 worldwide that week.

It's the same price as the PS4 in most markets and despite being much newer on the market is selling 86% of what the PS4 is selling, when the PS4 is practically a registered beast. If that's "mediocre," it would probably have to sell a million a week for you to call it "decent."



Just give it another 2-3 years, that crossplay backlash is going to strike sooner or later



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Let's put an end to the dream of some...I am sorry, me too I wanted to believe that the Switch was the most sold console on 1st year, but let's now watching things in a proper way.

Comparison of the 1st and 2nd complete Q1 of the Switch and the PS4.

2 things to see here :

1) I don't know about the shipped, but after RE-CHECKING EACH numbers here, we have this : without any massive load (kirby, Labo and Mario Tennis...), the Switch easily beat its previous Q1. It is personnal but I think that the Q3 of the Switch could be the most insane ever seen on the video games domain.

2) The PS4 was, is, and will remain a fucking monster.

November 15, 2013

The release date of PS4. Why the hell are you comparing the first Q1 of switch to the second Q1 of PS4 and the second Q1 of switch to the third Q1 of PS4? It should be 2014 PS4 and 2015 PS4.

Because the first trimester of the PS4 was a Q3. I have compared between the 2 first complete Q1 of each console and their respective second Q1

Was the PS4 not available in every region by April 2014?



Hummmmmm.....oh. wait...

How long did it take for the console to reach all regions? The difference between November and April is 5 months. Did it really take longer than 5 months for ps4 to come out everywhere? That makes me doubtful but still not a fair comparison in my opinion as the next 2 years are going to be much bigger for the switch than this one looking at the history of all consoles. The 3rd and 4th are probably the best for most consoles with the 5rh competing as well. Just look at PS4 and how big 2017 was for it



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I really apologize for having selected the 2015 Q1 instead of 2014 Q1 for the PS4 first Q1. Now we are fine :

PS4 in the lead as usual. Switch doing Mediocre as usual and Xbox sucking that tail as usual. No surgar coating here.

LOL.. You're totally correct.  A few months of being down 120k isn't going to mean a whole lot when Switch dominates Christmas by a large margin.  Sony has put out more major first party software in the spring and summer whereas Nintendo focuses that content more around Christmas when people are buying consoles in droves. 



3DS is still rocking



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019
