Of the games currently releasing on the PS4 you have about 30+ indie titles to each rdr2 or Spiderman, given that the switch will never have an issue running those games which will pour onto the ps5 as well to achieve a library which 95% of the games wouldn't run on the switch you would need AAA title launches to increase 600 fold so that those rdr type games would outnumber indie titles by 20:1 rather than the 1:30 ratio they hold now. Do people have insider information about several hundred new AAA studios launching?

I don't understand.  What you said in point #1 doesn't seem to lead to your conclusion in point #2.  Could you explain how you see the Wii's technology placing it in 7th gen?

Thats because they are unrelated.

You asked a question, I answered it. You are now trying to use the questions you asked to make a connection. In my previous post I ave a list of thins that makes a platform be grouped into any given generation. Technology wasn't the only thing. It however is the one thin that doesn really go with the Wii which is obviously why you chose to focus on it and ignore the others. My exact words from my first response to you was:

"consoles are grouped into generations by a combination of factors like time/period of release, technologies that define the platform and software library......"

The wii has at least two of those things, Period of release and it also has some games from the 360/PS3 library. And while it didn't get UE3 support, it t the at that time current version of Unity support in 2008. So it actually ticks all three boxes. But for the wii, period of release was more important mostly because f how underpowered it was compared to the there two platforms at the time and how different (motion controls) their approach was.

Look, I know what you are trying to say..... but the best way to arrive at your own conclusions would be t ignore all the things that define generations and just go with chronological releases. But if that is how you define a new gen, and the Wii was 7th gen, WiiU 8th gen and NS 9th gen...... shouldn't  that make the PS4pro and XB1X 9th gen too and the PS5 and XB4 10th gen?  

If we go by chronological releases then Switch is generation 9.  This is for the same reason that Wii is considered generation 7.

PS4 Pro and XB1X are not in a separate generation for the same reason that the DSi and the "new 3DS" were not in a new generation.  It is just upgraded hardware that has the exact same library of games. 



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

MS prediction before this gen was like 300M or 400M. Back to reality.

It was actually 200 million, but still, a bit short on that one.

While you really should elaborate as to why there are a lot more dissatisfied consumers out there who bought an Xbox one expecting it's games to be as good as the 360 days. Many of these have since converted to ps4 or pc and probably won't buy the next xbox.

"Is Switch 8th or 9th gen" is up there with "is Switch a handheld or a console" as one of the most overplayed and pointless discussions of recent years on here.

As to the actual thread topic, I'm revising my lifetime estimate for Xbone to 55 million.

What generation do you think it fits in?

This means that Switch will most likely pass the XB1 in LTD sales before 2019 is over. I'd say for sure, but Nintendo's release schedule remains a mystery and therefore the first 6-9 months of the year could be quite meh.

Yep. I've been saying the switch will either tie with or surpass the Xbox One in 2019, myself (mid last year). This is the truth.
