To put it into context, for the most part they were up against the Wii U and XBone with the most significant challenger being a handheld that parents thought would make their kids blind. The period that Sony dominated marked a substantial decline in the overall market, not reversed until the Switch entered in 2017.

2018 is the first time that a serious challenge has been presented, and it took the market by storm. During this year Nintendo will be unveiling their most powerful IP with Pokémon.

Yet still with probably the best 3D Zelda at the moment, one of the best 3D Mario’s, The best super smash bros to date, 2 casual Pokémon’s, Super Mario party, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2 and many other Nintendo games,   Between March 2017 and the end of 2018 the Switch got outsold by almost 8 millions to a 4-5 years old console with a base model at the same price (pro is $399).
