PS4 is about flat YOY right? Maybe even up a little. I don't think Switch can manage 17 million this year, so I'd guess PS4.

That´s because Nintendo Stock problems which still blow my mind.

PS4 takes 2017, Switch takes 2018.

PS4, with or without Switch stock issues.

What are them third party heavy hitters? 

COD, Fifa, Star wars battlefront 2, Assassins Creed and who knows what gets announced during E3. As for Sony themselves GT sport, Uncharted the lost legacy and maybe Detroit or/and Spiderman.

That's it?

Mmmhm except there are 6 psn cards all outselling everything..... gee I wonder what people are doing with those? 

 

Could it be? 

 

A. Buying games 

b. Starring at them 

 

or c. Using them as toilet paper 

 

why would one buy psn cards? (Hint most AAA ps4 games at least 25 percent of their total sales are digital).....

 

OT: I like the switch a lot but unfortunately Nintendo released a product that is extremely dated in software, OS, Specs, but not design(well the screen might be dated by next year with bezeless devices becoming common at 1440p resolution)...... its online infrastructure is not even there.... the eshop is legit even slower than the psn store on the PS3..... this will come back to haunt them.... it would be nice if they do Wii like numbers, but one would hope they can upgrade the OS to at least a generation ahead of where it currently is.... and sales are dropping.... 

That only tells me that PS4 users are too young to own a credit card, unlike Switch owners. ;) 

And no, sales are not dropping, it's supply constrained. How is it extremely dated in software or specs lol? How can software (games) be dated? They outscore most PS4 games. Do you know a more powerful handheld out there?


Because of inflated review scores proven by Disagea 5 & Thumper. PS games don't get the luxury of 'soft' reviews.

PS4 wins hands down. At the very least ps4 will be selling 15-16M and switch just can't beat thease numbers.
Nintendo will not be able to put enough switchs in the market to beat sony, fact.

In Fiscal year 2007 (April 1, 2007 - March 31, 2008) Nintendo was able to sell 23.56 million DS systems and 5.84 million Wii systems, for a total of 29.4 million systems sold. It was even higher in fiscal-year 2008 (48.92 million). Now, say what you will about sales and the economy, but these numbers show that Nintendo is able to produce a significant amount of units in a year. Far more than 15-16 million (which both the DS and WIi beat until 2012).

whatever you say, chances are on the ps4 side.... switch will not sell more than ps4, or at the very least this is extremily ulikely, and nintendo will not be able to produce enough switches to beat sony in 2017. Nintendo has already made a forecast of 10 million switch in 1 year, believing they will exceed that estimate in 70-80% ... realy?

Even without stock problems, 17 might be pushing it. We'll never know.

They were able to ship 18 millions Wii in it's first full fiscal year, even with major shortages all year long. But as you say, we never know. 14 or 15 might be closer to reality. But the Switch doesn't need to hit the 18 mark to sell more. I know they're not targeting the same market, but it's crazy to think that tge PS4 and the are not competitors, if Nintendo's console can keep it's momentum, it will start to affect PS4 sales.
