When will the switch outsell the ps4?

Just wanted to touch one point.

PS2 also wasn't really the "cheap DVD-player", that myth is easily desbunked looking PS2 had attach ratio about 10 which isn't something very different from the norm at the time.

You guys are missing the point, I didn't say people buy it ONLY FOR DVD or Bluray, its just a better investment something that can play games and also other media. In fact the Xbox One is in my opinion the best media device out there, it plays Xbox one games, 360 games, some original xbox games, it also plays 4K blurays and any media on any type of hard drives through KODI or VLC which destroys the ps4 as a media device.

With that said I still prefer to use my beelink GT-Pro for movies and music as its much quicker, has an air remote and better sound. Surely I didn't need to spend 200dollars on another device that does the same things the xbox already does, but for me 200 dollars is nothing these days, I spend more than that on a dentist appointment. If I had the money for only 1 single device it would be the xbox One, no doubt about it, I've seen the xbox slim on sales for 160dollars, way better than a standalone 4K bluray that wont have media through USB and apps and such.

But for some people who cant afford a lot of stuff, but they want to game,its a better investment to buy a console than a Bluray player only.

The switch also doesn't play any movies or music or anything at all media wise, so, most people who buy it already have another console or device that can do those things.

We understood what you said, just pointed you are just wrong. Don't use yourself as a standard. Look at attach ratio for the consoles and you'll see it have been consistent so nope, neither PS2, nor PS3 nor PS4 were bought because they were cheap media readers. Some users that bought those used for those functions but not the other way around. "Ow well I need to buy a BD player that costs less than 100, well I should buy a 400 console because maybe I'll play a game one day" said no one.

Don't say that. I liked that X1S and X1X had 4K BDplayer, but since I haven't found a single 4KBD to sale in Brazil that interest didn't matter =[

You still made the better choice, because your xbox reads any media from USB drives, and VLC and KODI read absolutely anything, the ps4 doesn't read almost anything I have, no FLAC, no ALAC, no HEVC, and subtitles on ps4 are dodgy too. I still do not understand how VLC is on xbox but not on ps4.

So if you enjoy gaming + movies and music, then the xbox was the wise choice. You know what other thing the ps4 doesn't do, it doesn't have backwards compatibility, so enjoy playing your 360 games in higher framerates and resolutions ;)

I don't use my PS4 for media reading, my tv with vlc already read all I need also have a PC.

Also besides already having X360 the games I like to play are usually exclusives to PS, and I rarely play older gen stuff unless it have been remade/remastered for current because I do really like IQ.
