This is what he is referring to, while you didnt say this will happen, its still a really weird thing to even suggest because it has 0% chance of happening making it a completely useless thing to discuss.

Well glad to see that at least you can read and realized I did not say that...

Also I'm not suggesting anything as you put it: Suggesting means that I'd tell Nintendo to CONSIDER not releasing big games as a suggestion...

All I was saying is that considering the current trend IF ("if" being the key word here) Nintendo did not release big titles in the future, the Switch would PROBABLY (key word "probably" as opposed to "certainly") not sell as much as the PS4.

In other words I'm discussing trends and hypotheticals here. And SINCE this was a very real issue with the WII U, I see a reason to discuss it and just cause some snowflakes that can't take any criticism, any discussion or any opinion that is not a direct worship of that company, are bothered by it does not mean it cannot be discussed. If you or anyone think it's useless, by all means move on to the next comment and ignore mine.

This conversation is for open minded people (obviously) and it's them I'm talking to. So to them I'm saying that while the Switch is doing well it must not think it's going to automatically win as this trend demonstrates. Of course from there one could wonder what winning means. Does it mean it has to sell as much as the PS4 or just sell well. But in the spirit of competition I'll go with selling as much if not more than PS4 and that's when my argument makes sense.

I would even argue that 3DS is doing pretty good considering this is its 8th year on the market.

god of war will be the next game that will give ps4 hardware a big boost

To be honest, after all the hype around MHW in January, I wonder if it'll actually move much hardware. Yeah, the Pro bundle will do some numbers but as for the base models, it needs to be seen.

 

normally big games moves some hardware, but we never know, but i hope it can push some numbers😊

Yeah now that argument can definitely be made

I hope Sony increases the PS4 shipments worldwide - it would be nice to see 80M PS4s sold at the next financial year report.

It will definitely reach 80m by the end of next quarter.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

This quarter as in March? Wasn’t the PS4 around 76m shipped by the end of December or something like that? O.o Maybe I’m remembering wrong.

Shipments were 76.5m at the end of Dec and the current forcast is 79m at the end of March.
