You're actually all wrong because that graph is only the first year which i never commented on. I was referring to the period when PS4 was beating it launch aligned and nintendo fans were shutting their ears and acting like it didn't count. 

Do you actually have any evidence of that? Was anyone saying "PS4 won't beat Wii U" after late 2015?

I know it's hard to believe in hindsight but there was LOL. In this very thread is a poster who used to try and mock me when i said PS4 would pass out Wii U in 2016. I was making these claims in 2015. He said he bookmarked my post and couldn't wait to served crow. Safe to say I cooked him a nice dish of smoked crow. Not sure if I'm allowed mention names so PM me if you want. He was far from the only one even at that late stage.

Okay, but your premise is still silly.

Of course you and others are free to behave like idiots, but a justification like "others have been idiots too" doesn't negate that you are acting like idiots.

How am i an idiot? I just said others did it. I was one of those who rightfully said ps4 was beating wii u easily launched aligned but the downplay from certain nintendo fans was hilarious. And it's even funnier now that launch aligned suddenly matters to them.

I want
Splatoon 1,250k by year end
Arms 300k by year end
Mario Kart Deluxe 850k by year end
Zelda 750k by year end
Mario Odyssey 850k by year end

and Switch 850k extra by year end

Spla2n should get there. Arms will have a hard time, but it might (don't forget digital). Not sure about MK8D. Zelda is already above that with Wii U and digital. Mario should easily, same with Switch numbers.



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.

I think he's refering to the ones who kept saying "WiiU is the #1/best selling console in Japan", even though PS4 passed it a lot earlier than Sep 2016 if you look at it launch alligned.

Don't know if they're the exact same people who are now saying that Switch is #1, using the opposite reasoning.
But those comments ahve been common.

Yep what you said basically. I prob could have expllained better but i'm typing between rounds of rainbow 6 so don't have much time.

how many switch's have been sold in japan to date?

Over 1.3mil. Its ahead of 3DS, PS4 and Wii U!

So after 3 weeks splatoon has an attache rate of 66%, that is mental. Also mario kart port deluxe at around 50% and zelda 45%, third parties don't have a hope in hell on this system, lol.

Is the Switch still supply constraint? I'm missing info since the stock improved.

Its still selling out, so I would say that yeah, its still supply constrained, just less than it was.

So, if selling out is confirmed that means demand is incredibly high. Awesome.

It's WAY ahead of the PS4 with aligned launches. The PS4 was hovering around 700k at this point and the Switch is now close to 1.4 million. It's sure to hit 2 million within it's first year. 2.5 seems likely, if the stock holds up. 

When people pointed out the PS4 was doing way better then wii u launch aligned, lots of the nintendo fans on this thread didn't accept that and only accepted total sales. It's only fair the same happens with the PS4 and Switch now. Can't have it both ways. 

I didn't do that, so I'm allowed to compare launch aligned. Which by the way means that currently PS4 is still ahead - worldwide.

Fantastic sales for the PS4. Over 50k for the week. It's so far up YOY that it will surely beat the 1.8m PS4 did last year which would be it's best ever year and would mean the PS4 outsold PS3's peak 2 years in a row! I think it's time the PS4 got the praise it deserves. Keeping traditional home consoles on the map in Japan.

Now DQ11 second week. Over 500k retail and likely 50-100k digital. PS4 first shipment now gone and we are into it's second shipment. Fantastic second week and bodes well for legs. Again a big fuck you to all the MR Negatives over on gaf that doubted the series just because it was releasing on PS4. It has done good on both platforms.

Now with Digital this is likely past FF15 and PS4 now has a new champion. I have no doubt it will beat 1.5m easily with digital. Great performance and it bodes well for PS4's big exclusives in Japan, KH3 and MHW.

Crash with a very modest debut but gives it a little bump to it's already massive WW sales.

Next up in Japan is everybody's gold and uncharted lost legacy? Then it's trials of the cold steel, gran turismo and the likes of fifa/PES? Hopefully PS4 keeps selling up YOY for the next while.

NINTENDOMINATION!!! 

Nintendo Switch #1 with 60k+
Nimtendo 3DS @ #2 with 60k+

 

Sony PS4  #3 53k 

 

Long Life to The Third Place :)
