BotW passed 600k this week.

31 weeks left for the end of 2017, it needs to sell 12k on average per week to reach 1m and given the sales spikes on holidays...

 

WOW a zelda game has the chance to sell 1m in Japan ( it deserves more ) ... After so many, years! What was the last time that a zelda game sold 1m in Japan and which ? 

( I'm bored to search )

Ocarina of Time (N64)



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Its not only about Pokemon and Monster Hunter, you are free to mention games like Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, 2D/3D Mario, Smash Bros and now Splatoon. All those games will easily outsell any Sony exclusive.

I know they have other big franchises i just used the ones that came to my mind as an example of their big exclusives.

Also now that i think about it has Splatoon sold over 10 million units? because thats what some Sony exclusives have sold.

OK, but my point is that there not only those two big exclusives, Nintendo has around 7 very strong exclusives in Japan.

Why would need to sell more than 10m? What Sony game exactly sold more than 10m in Japan alone (or any other game in Japan)? Splatoon 1 sold around 1.7m in Japan on instal base of 3.3m, Splatoon 2 will easily sold more than 3m in Japan alone, we are talking about sales that could be easily on pair with Pokemon, Sony will hardly have any exclusive this generation that will come even near 1m in Japan.

Will Mario Kart 8 Deluxe hit 1m by this year's end?

Without any problems, there are good chances for Zelda BotW also.

No they will replace the ps4 with a more powerful home console called the ps5. It won't be portable.  

 

Ps4 is going to make them bank and sell 100m+. It's not broke so why would they try fix it?  

 

While pc gets more console games,  consoles get more pc games.  Both platforms are becoming more attractive,  not just one. 

Shuhei Yoshida said something a while ago about Sony's ultimate goal to turn Playstation into a service. Switch's success could persuade them to go portable instead or make a new infrastructure that encompasses both ideas somehow. Consoles wont be necessary in the future. Powerful dedicated handhelds and pc are naturally inheriting their strengths. I think ps5 will be the last traditional home console. Not because it'll be a failure.. but because the alternative is potentially even more profitable to Sony. 

I have no words lol.  Psn is already a service with ps now,  PS plus and ps Vue.  Ps4 will outsell Switch lifetime and make Sony more money then any other previous console.  You can bet on one thing and that's a ps5 being a traditional home console. If they wanted a switch competitor they'd release a Vita 2 alongside the ps5.

Looks like we'll need to keep reminding people this or eventually people will start to believe it.
