No, I've just been following these charts a hell of a lot more closely than you have.  Every single time the Switch has been available at regular price it has shot up the list and completely burried everything else.  The system is being sold at a $120 markup and still sales on Amazon are very close between it and a PS4 marked down by $40.  The high demmand for Switch is flat undeniable at the moment.  The PS4's current run at this moment is due to a fire sale.  

I'm not saying the Switch will catch up to the PS4 lifetime.  But I'm very confident the demand *right now* is more than sifficient to beati it *at this present time*.  We'llhave to see about the holidays.

I'm not blinded by anything jack.  The only one not seeing clearly here is you.

 Im not even talking about amazon, im talking about how the Ps4 has been selling this entire year lol. The PS4 has sold like 2 million more than it did last year in the same time frame, its straight beasting, and those numbers came before any "fire sale" on amazon happened. Yeah, I know you're not saying the Switch will catch the PS4 lifetime, I never said you did. I responded to your post claiming that "All the indicators point towards the Switch outselling the PS4" and you gave me nothing other than when the switch gets some stock on amazon, it shoots to number one. That's obvious shit man, a product that has high demand with low stock, will obviously sell out quickly once stock is replenished (especially when the amount of stock. that is replenished is very low). 

 

by the way your first sentence about you following the charts closer than i have is cracking me up cus its so false you have no idea lol

I meant the Amazon charts, I follow them dang near constantly.  And of course the PS4 did better first quarter of 2017 than 2016, it had a crap ton of game releases.  I'm not discrediting anything, just saying your attitude lf the PS4 being this inexplicably powerful sales beast is a false narrative, the hgih sales are not that shocking when all things are considered.  

However, I didn't just point out the way it shoots up charts when stock is available.  The fact it sells the way it does at a $120 markup is just plain bananas.  The fact is every time Switch stock shows up anywhere in the States or Japan (or even several European countries), it's gone in very short order.  They are holding raffles in Japan to win a chance to buy the dang thing.  

So no, indicators of the Switch being in incredibly high demand are clear as day to those who are paying attention to the signs.  This is not to say the PS4 is selling badly or anything.  

And I brought up the fire sale because you didn't strut into this thread with your condescending, insulting, pompous attitude until today, when the PS4 shot to number 1 on the back of a sale issolated to one day at one retailer.  So pardon me if I assumed the timing was of significance.
