So it is not a fake supply problem like Switch when many people claimed last year?

Haha I know right, one of the most ludicrous claims of all time.

The interesting part of that debate is that it is actually quite plausible that the PS4 slim truly has a fake supply problem in the sense that Sony makes more money selling the PS4 pro.

Is there a source for this? Not doubting what you're saying, just genuinely curious about profit per unit

This is amazing when there is actually no new "Handheld" on the market. 2 Home consoles killing it in Japan (with one being able to play on the go) 

But just imagine, this is happening without Pokemon, Animal Crossing and a new Monster Hunter on the Switch. 

Then now imagine THOSE games releasing on the Switch..... Oh BOY! 

Anything but amazing ... 

Even having those franchises end up on the Switch, it'll still end up behind it's predecessor (3DS) in Japan and PS4 will finish just above it's predecessor when it had nearly everything going for it ... 

Not good for the AAA gaming industry in Japan ...

Why the 3DS? When sales trackers such as NPD call the Switch as a "HOME CONSOLE". 



Pocky Lover Boy!

So the 3DS quadruples the software sales of the Switch for that comparison. Thank you for that.

What did I tell you about giving people some sort of notification when you are in a discussion with them?

You aren't willing to listen, so you get punished accordingly. The comparison I posted covers the full 13 weeks for the 3DS, but only three weeks for Switch. It is useless and was merely a test to see how quickly you'd buy into numbers that suit your agenda.

So you outright lie, deceive and post false data? Well, you're on ignore. I have no business attempting to discuss something with someone who willingly posts false data for the sake of deception. I'm sure there are many other people who can hold a civil discussion here.

According to what logic because as it goes Switch is looking like it'll beat out 3DS in Japan when it's all said and done,  3DS at this point in its life already had a price cut for a start.

According to the launch aligned sales in Japan from Media Create and your price argument is irrelevant since no two platform strategies are the same ... 

Word of advice, don't base your argument on presumptions such as Nintendo themselves intending to match the price of Switch against the 3DS without solid evidence ...

But Switch alredy surpassed its predecessor.. You know the WiiU. You this bwcausw when you type predecessor you had to add 3ds to it XD

Edit: ironically its not all about selling a number. Ps4 and NSW are already better than 3ds and ps3. The latter 2 systems lost a bunch of money while the former profited lol

This discussion is about sales numbers ...

Nice start for Kirby! I don't think I'll get the game personally but it's always nice to see a game succeed.

I dont have the cold hard numbers on actual cost per unit if that is what you mean but its a simple conclusion to make that since Sony exists solely to make money for its shareholders and not as a charity any move it makes has a profit motive as an end. The day Sony introduced the Pro naturally sounded a death knell for the older version.

It is also drawing from other companies who introduced mid gen refreshes like the N3Ds.
