Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will Sony ever surpass Nintendo's total hardware shipment?

Probably not in the "foreseeable" future.

I doubt it

Yeah I just don't see the Switch have more than 200k baseline, especially at the current price. But hey, I'd love to be wrong.

Well... the PS4 has a 200k baseline. That wouldn't be too bad.

Well the PS4 is available at the same if not, less price than the Switch right now. Add that to multiple 3rd party support and wider variety of games. Plus, I just didn't see the Switch sold that much without stole some of the PS4/XBO userbase unless the casuals is back.



A handheld gamer only (for now).

No.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Will Sony continue outselling Nintendo as a whole? Most likely.

Will they surpass Nintendo in 3 years? No.

5 years? No.

10 years? Possibly, but only if this downward trend for Nintendo and upward trend for Sony continues.

Doesn't need to.

Nintendo home consoles stand at 282 million to Sony's 398 million.

Nintendo has the majority of their hardware numbers made from handhelds. Meanwhile Sony has most of theirs from consoles.

Nintendo is definitely a more handheld company and that's fine. One company to dominate handhelds and one to dominate consoles. I love Nintendo consoles but their bread and butter has always been handheld.

If Nintendo products continue to sell poorly, along with Sony's good pace, it could happen, though it'd take several years, if the industry is still making hardware at that point, and not switch to streaming or something.

Combining handheld and home console sales... it could never happen. 



Sony already ships more hardware than Nintendo. Hifi components, smartphones, headphones, tablets, TVs. batteries, cameras....

;P



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

Probably not, probably don't think Sony gives much of a crap anyway.

As long as each Playstation console hits 100 million and they make good money off of it, I'm sure they're pleased.

They ought to be because as a company they don't exactly have a ton of golden assets these days. Ain't nobody breaking down the doors to buy Sony TVs, smartphones, tablets, audio systems, etc.



It would take an insane amount of time to over that kind of ground when including handhelds
