What are those other NA countries? You listed USA, Canada and Mexico. Which is missing?

Because very few houses have 4k TV and customers usually look for pricetag. And we don't know if PS4Pro margin is higher than PS4, what was said is that PS4Pro have margin while X1X probably doesn't.

Everything seems obvious on a hindsight. There were a lot of people here that thought WiiU would be the best selling console of the generation or that PS4 would fail to pass PSVita and Sony would close the door. Are all of the them fanboys?

All II read from what you said is that Sony is better at managing their stock. Thanks. And when USA and Japan doesn't receive the same as Europe, so it isn't so split between 3, but more like it is selling heavily on 2 and something on the others.

So you are talking about all those yearly titles plus a remaster?

Well, the Caribean and Central America are still considered to be North America, if I'm not wrong. Switch has sold 209k in Canada, and its not a stretch to assume the Mexico, a country with five times the population of Canada, has bought a further 191k Switches to push that total past 3M for North America as a whole. So in the end it probably doesnt even matter if you take the other countries into account or not.

And on the second point, thanks for the clarification. I see what he meant now.

Since when is Central America and Carribean Island part of North America?

If PS4Pro sells 20% of the total, that is quite the good influx of sales.

How do we know that these Pro customers werent just gonna buy a regular PS4, had the new option not been available? Many people are first time PS4 owners, and they just chose to buy the pro over the slim. Those sales would have gone to normal PS4, had the Pro not existed, leading to little to no difference in sales.

Yes you do have the hardcore fans who would upgrade to the pro from standard, but thats only like a relatively small fraction of people in the bigger picture.

The fact that they could have bought the PS4 for 3 years before the Pro launched, so it's valid to think they were enticed to buy the Pro and that drove the sales up. Unless you think the revisions of Nintendo handhelds and sony/ms slims didn't move the needle.

We don't really know how many bought a second time or wouldn't buy Pro. But you said it didn't move the needle, so you have the burden of proof.
