VAMatt said: This is impressive for Sony. But, I'd like to wrap my head around exactly where we are this gen for all consoles, relative to last gen all consoles. That would be more interesting information, IMO. The problem with that is that Nintendo blurs the lines between generations. So, where do you put the Wii U and Switch? If we count the Wii in last gen (which is the only reasonable place to put it), that generation dwarfs sales of the current gen, even if we include both Wii U and Switch. |
Wii is part of the PS3/360 gen, as is the Wii U. I think everyone is pretty much treating the Wii U like the PS4/PS4 Pro situation now. An upgrade within the same gen.
Sure the Wii U was really a whole new system and not just an upgrade. But in terms of impact, it's not even Xbox One X.
Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.
