| Ariakon said: Of course Switch is the more desired console as of this current moment. It is a new item and has yet to sell through the launch excitement that built up around it.
Whether that will remain true once the people who wanted one day one and still haven't been able to find one remains to be seen, but it's still impressive that the PS4 is doing so damned well in it's fourth year with seemingly no impact on its sales from the switch. Both are doing great at the moment. While personally I don't think the Switch will do ps4's numbers (except in Japan) they will coexist quite well, I think, especially for those, like me, who use their ps4's as the TV console and the switch as a handheld and travel console. |
Exactly. And it's great to see. Switch doing great numbers but having zero effect on the PS4. Xbox on the other hand is having a terrible 2017. It's clear to see what 2 consoles will co-exist best.

But the two ideas are not a contradiction, that the PS4 is doing remarkably well and the Switch being in higher demand at this time. The Switch is a new console with a strong launch and several promising exclusives on the horizon. I'm not gloating, just calling it like I see it. And also, I do think that the PS4 and Switch can coexist. It's the Xbox One that I think faces the greatest threat from the Switch, since it deprives it of secondary console sales as well as providing yet another platform with stronger exclusive offerings. |
Well said.
