Those nearly 70 million people aren't playing 3DS with their friends, which was the key part of point c.

Pokemon + Mario Kart + Animal Crossing + Smash Bros. = Not playing with your friends

A) He omitted it.

B) Nintendo Network, which supports the WiiU AND 3DS, has 26.39 million members (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Network)

C) PSN has over 70 million, MONTHLY active users and PS Plus has over 26 million members (https://www.vg247.com/2017/05/23/psn-reaches-70-million-monthly-active-users-ps-plus-subs-over-26-million/)

D) Who ever argues that Nintendo pushes online connectivity for internet gaming versus Sony OR Microsoft!?

This isn’t a worldwide thread, this is a U.S. thread.

Nobody is denying that the PS4 is the #1 system overall, worldwide, (for now). But in the U.S., specifically, it’s a different story.

The Switch has already won half of the NPDs this year. (March, April, July, August, September, and October.) The best the PS4 can do is tie, and it won January and February when it the Switch wasn’t even out yet and won May and June because Nintendo couldn’t provide enough stock.  

Well, SNES Classic actually won September but sure Switch outsold PS4 by ~9,000 units. But you're right. Switch is doing very well in the US even though PS4 is actually still this year's best selling console in the US.

PS4 has won 4 of this year's 9 months (January, February, May, and June), Switch also 4 months (March, April, July, and August) and SNES Classic 1 month (September).

PS4: 210,665

PS4: 398,407

Where are the mods!? We need the mods!

The x has been out of stock for a bit now. The Scorpio version looks done. The standard should be in stock in 1-2days according to Amazon.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

I forgot about the SNES classic, so you have a point there. I would still consider September a victory for the Switch in the sense that “out of the current video game systems” it was the best selling one.

While we don’t know by how much, you can already chalk up October for the Switch because of Super Mario Odyssey.

This month is genuinely exciting in the sense that it could be either one of the three.

Wow, the switch salt is still present.

 

Edit- Switch has already won 5 months, and has a lock on October. So unless PS can overcome X1X launch, the switch has the year in the bag for US.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

If people are wanting a Scorpio version, I think they should just go to their local Microsoft store.
