Has there ever been a time in gaming history where two titans as powerful as PS4 and Switch have gone head-to-head like this?

It seems in every other instance where a system was this successful (PS1, PS2, Wii, PS4 before Switch) it left the competition in the dust and there was simply no contest.

In the late 90s-early 00s, PS1/PS2 & GBC/GBA.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Switch, once again, leaves its giant boot in the PS4s ass =)

The PS4 isn't that far behind the Switch, honestly.



The recent adjustments made the gap between switch/ps4 look way more severe

Whoops, yeah, PS4 40k below what was posted before, while the Switch is 20k lower, and the XBO 10k lower.

Wonder if the other weeks also got adjusted down.

The gap between Switch and PS4 grew with the adjustment this week from 35k to over 50k. That starts to become a considerable gap, let's see what the quarterly reports next week will tell us further.

The SNES sold well during the PS1's first couple of years.  The PS2 sold well during the Wii's first couple of years.  It's kind of like that.

Guys, this isn't the week that's on the front page. Switch actually got adjusted up: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=239926&page=1

I simply picked the week from exactly nine years ago: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/40272/Global/

Suddenly Switch and PS4 sales don't look like anything special anymore.

And suddenly the X1 doesn't seem to be doing, "good, just not as good as PS4 or Switch."

In fact, I think the poor X1 sales are highlighted more than anything by that tbh.

Who in their right mind would say your made up quote with a straight face?

Every XBox fan that tried to explain how the X1 was so far behind the PS4, but still not a failure by 360 standards.
