| Vor said: Anyway the reason I created this thread is because both company are now a single platform company so they don't have another platform to lean on. While Switch sold very well I don't think it will reach the PS4 level so Sony would be still ahead of Nintendo this gen. Assuming Sony will always have a lead each year (which it already does for now) It will have a chance to surpass Nintendo total shipment. The problem is the current gap is too large but hey,it's not impossible right? |
It's pretty much a superfluous question, though. When you enter a market, you're not going, "oh, man, I hope we can catch up to the units our competitor sold before we arrived." Instead, you're thinking about how you can sell more than them in the future.
I think a more meaningful question would be how Playstation and Nintendo will stack up in units sold from here on out. It looks like Sony has left the handheld market and Nintendo is combining markets, which will probably result in a loss of volume potential for both.
