Pokemon is doing just average. Nothing special. Big second week drop on MC like I expected. 

*You dont kno how pokemon sales work. Your not into it, its a third version akin to Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum and to some extent BW2. First week sales were good. Opened higher than all of those games. Ltd is questionable though

Ps4 had a big Q3 because of software. Q4 this year there's been no reason for it to be up over last year. Switch was out on both Q3 and Q4 and it's having no bearing on either. 

*Switch is eating everyone's lunch. Holidays its all about getting a switch. All money is going to nintendo. Its affecting ps4. (With everything else)

Last Q4 ps4 had ps4 slim + price cut, ps4 pro and FFXV. Why would it be anywhere near that this Q4? Saying it's because off the switch is just ludicrous. 

*You and many people (included myself) thought ps4 would be up YoY. You were even bragging before how it could potientially hit 2mil (and be its peak)

Fact is 2017 overall is up nicely over 2016. It will be the biggest year for a PlayStation home console since the ps2 days. But yeah switch is eating it's sales LOL.

*Its not up overall nicely. This is where your cheering goes into affect. When people are using there money for nintendo products and not sonys then its "eating its lunch"

Reply to me properly and I'll read that. I don't like when people wrote replies in my post.

Correct. 3ds is beating switch at this point in time. 

Of course it bothers him. Why else would he get wound up every week and feel the need to respond to every single one of these comments. 

 

Because its hard to ignore horrible post from him and yourself. Its like its easy to catch people. You both do a great job at that lol. At least switch is in a better position then 3ds every was. So its a win for nintendo

It's actually quite easy. Do you enjoyed getting triggered every day? Some people do so it's a genuine question. Apparently you constantly downplay the UK market with your Nintendo is weak ther argument to feel better about their bad sales. I don't reply to you every time you do I because who cares. You're entitled to your biased and incorrect opinions.

At least Kerotan and Law are consistent in the different regions they post, Someone like Tbone is curiously absent in the UK threads every week because he can't make the same fiery arguments (outside the proverbial Nintendo is weak in the UK) I always find him throwing here in Japan. Maybe that should be the mantra for Playstation and Japan. Its sales are not up to snuff because Japan is their weakest market...and call it a day.

Well as a PlayStation fan it's easy to comment every region because ps4 sells well WW. But still you are right.

UK is a tiny market compared to Japan. And Nintendo has historically always been weak in the UK while Playstation used to be a very strong brand in Japan (its freaking home country no less). If you can't tell the difference then I don't know what to tell you. 

UK is not a tiny market. Sony have sold a lot of ps4's there. It's not far off Japan for them.

Fact is 2017 overall is up nicely over 2016.

Will it be in 5 weeks? Its up by less than 170k YOY and like you said, its down so far this quarter and there is no reason to think that will change since PS4 got Final Fantasy XV & Yakuza 6 in weeks 48 & 49 last year and has nothing near as big as that this year.

PS4 sold ~475k (95k/week) in the last 5 weeks of 2016. If PS4 sells 350k in the last 5 weeks of this year it will be up less than 3% YOY.

Obviously any growth is good but you are exaggerating how much its up.

It will be up regardless and be the best year since the ps2 for a home console.  So much to switch eating it's sales.
