and neither had as severe stock issues. the switch is just pacing behind ps4 and Wii worldwide and holidays havent even arrived.

remember yall, if nintendo meets 14 million this FY (resulting in 16.7m total for first 12 months), it will officially set the record for most sales in a console's first twelve months in the market.

Yeah, but PS4 in its first 12 months did 14.4 million WITHOUT any major game releases like a Zelda or Mario (which both came out the SAME year even.) For Sony, that would be the EQUIVALENT of Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us II coming out on launch within the same year lol. Can you even imagine that??? In 2014, the only major release was Destiny at the END of 2014. No big exclusives really until later. Only Nintendo would do something like this after just coming off of the Wii U because they NEED sales. It's like a full-on attack because of the disastrous Wii U "effect."

Would the Switch sell like this WITHOUT a Mario or Zelda??? Who knows but I think likely not personally. We all know PS consoles sell because they are media devices as well as gaming devices.

 

Note: Also, just for comparison's sake...on a monthly basis, how does the PS4 stack up so far next to the switch? Is it over or under 7 million worldwide???

Eh, PS4 didn't had strong exclusives but had strong 3rd party support in 1st year, Switch has strong exclusives but don't have strong 3rd party support. What would PS4 sold without big 3rd party games (for intance GTAV and CoD) in 1st year, definitely not so great. In other words, it's comparing apples to oranges.
