wtf is up with XBox? If they end this gen on such a bad lul, then next gen is no hope.

Yeah no way NS takes it this year, once september hits its ps4 all the way, Destiny 2 and Spiderman followd by COD and BF2

MS has already startd their next gen push. Why do you think they are making a thing of cross play. 

With this gen making big inroads into digital distribution, MS knows that its going to be really hard to make people switch platforms next gen. Cross play was their way of trying to slow down the uptake of PS4 consoles. Your friend wouldn't have to go buy a PS4 if he could always just play fortnite with you on his XB1 you know?

No matter how many units the PS4 gets piled up in its bank account.  The NPD analyst already predicted the outcome.

NPD analysts are pretty shocked at how well the ps4 has been doing since it's almost significantly up YOY YTD in the U.S. I guess maybe having, MONSTER HUNTER, GOD OF WAR, AND FORTNITE by run away successes this year have pushed the ps4 to new heights. Who knows what SPIDERMAN, RED DEAD, AND THE NEW BLACK OPS sequel will do when it competes against Pokemon Go and Smash #25. The only thing that tells me that the ps4 won't best 2017 as it's best year to date, is the fact sony has lowered it's forecast for some reason, which I believe suggests they aren't cutting price this year. In fact last year they had the ps4 at $249 for the days of play deal, this year they had it at $299

Why downplay smash being a sequel when you list 4 sequels for the ps4? I'm genuinely curious. Also, I bet Nintendo wish they had Pokemon go for the switch, that's one of the biggest game of all time

Now I dont remember last few weeks numbers WW, but I know the Switch was going up every week in Japan up until this week. I would imagine it would be similar outside of Japan.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

The ironic part is there are the same amount of Call of Duty games on PS4 alone as there are Smash Bros games in total.

Let's take a moment to really drink in those PS4 Europe numbers. That's 43.12% of the entire world's sales for PS4.

Another week when PS4 keeps its lead on NS. Very good week for both, anyway, as usual. NS also betters its weekly lead on XBOne, both as absolute number and percent. Filling the gap will be slow if XBOne sales won't drop dramatically, but it will eventually happen.
Decent week for XBOne and 3DS too, BTW, but worse than last week for both. Little absolute increase, but big as percent, for PSV, in Japan and WW.

80m seems out of reach for the 3DS but 75m looks like a certainty

PS4 is a beast!



Switch!!!

Any updates on the total numbers? Those infographics are a couple weeks outdated.

Doesn't really fit with the prediction thread, where Switch was higher that week than the week before, not lower, and PS4 sales going down below Switch sales.

Of course, it's possible that the thread is wrong (especially on PS4 sales), but I don't think the trend of the Switch was.
