Is it though? I thought id check if that was true.

 

VGC's Hardware Year-Over-Year Comparison 2016-2017, added up 2017 numbers for the US for both the PS4 & Switch.

Results for 2017 unit sales are as follows:

PS4 = 4,3m units sold in the us.

Switch = 3,4m units sold in the us.

 

From jan - > november, in 2017, so far the PS4 has sold more units in the US than the Switch has.

Maybe Switch does better in december and closes that gap, but its just as likely it doesnt.

Switch is selling better in December, and if we look at Amazon it looks like is gonna sell way more in January too.

2017 was 2017, i knew PS4 was gonna win this year since summer. Doesn't matter tho, since we know why PS4 sold more than Switch in November, and we know that right now Switch is doing better.

Always these excuses lost because no deals no stock blah blah the switch has only a chance in us because already a ton of people already own a ps4. And this are facts and not just excuses

I would like to discuss about what do you think are facts and excuses, boy.
How even does Switch have a chance in US because "a ton of people already bought a PS4" ? Isn't the same in Europe?

We already have many reports which say Switch outsold PS4 in December, actually, they also say by a huge margin. I'm not saying that's gonna be the case, but we know is 99% sure Switch outsold PS4 in December, and January so far is by far worse for PS4 on Amazon.

Don't worry anyway, when Switch has enough stock and PS4 has no insane promotions, there is no way PS4 sells close to Switch in USA, so for PS4 to beat Switch in 2018, Sony should do insane deals and price cuts and Nintendo should continue to have stocks problems for all year, something which is very unlucky.

2018 Switch will be by far the best selling console in USA, easy, actually, there a chance it outsell PS4 every months, but let's not get crazy now, the point is that Switch will easy wins US by a good margin, and Japan by an absyss. I don't know if people understand that, actually, there is a big chance that Switch in Japan in 2018 sells more than PS4 in US. I would say it's most likely gonna be the case, and Switch sales in US will be also bigger than in Japan, so there you go.

Europe and Rest of the world are not gonna close this gap.

Amazon isnt always a indicator for better sales lol
