Ah, thanks for clarifying. I'm not discounting the possibility of the Switch eventually winning WW monthly sales but I can't completely get on board with the idea just yet. There are many factors to take into consideration. Switch is the newest console on the block and represents a 'true' next gen entry by Nintendo. This is one of the biggest reasons it's doing so well along with a great idea and finally getting 3rd party support. Can it be sustained? Only time will tell. Then we have to look at the PS4 and understand the price will drop at some point. We can only evaluate the results of that when it occurs. Perhaps Black Friday will give us an idea of how much that will factor in when a FULL WW price cut hits. Then we have the big PS4 exclusives hitting next year, some of which will definitely be bundled and WILL have sales implications, such as GOW or Spiderman. We'll see. I'm not discounting the Switch here, just taking my usual 'let's wait and see' stance. Too many people go crazy this time of the year (every time in fact!) and start drawing long term conclusions. We should have learned not to do this by now.
The PS5 Exists.
