Switch back at the summit

Statistical tie at the top, I wonder if everyone thinks my idea that MS will release a new Xbox this year is still ridiculous though, those are some truly atrocious numbers.



I remember xbox360 also dropping below 60k ww a week

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I think they might. At least announce it at this E3.



PS4 with Kingdom Hearts 3 and RE2? It's shouldn't have been this close, or hell, just below the Switch.

PS4 is doing good in it's old age, Switch is doing well despite not having big system sellers.

Still won't happen most likely even though MS probably want it to happen already. There is just no good enough hardware to build next-gen console with, It is also not a good idea to just try and fix such problem with making more and more hardware with hope that another one might become a hit. This would be making the same mistake that costed Sega its hardware business.

 I can see both announced by then.

Maybe. I just don't see a reason for Sony to hurry.

My thoughts exactly, kinda expected PS4 to obliterate Switch, especially with how relatively slow Switch's January and February have been. I guess more than anything it's a telling sign that it's time for PS5 to be ushered in. Still though, great numbers for both.  It's just a tad surprising.

 They definitely want to keep up in this regard, though. If nothing else, just show off some form of new hardware.

They probably want to see what move MS makes first. It worked wonders with the PS4. I think MS are more "desperate" at this point though.
