The PS4 had a very simalr launch, it too was also having stock issues. And it even had a meme that the NS has still somehow managed not to have "it has no games". So no. Simple fact of the matter is this, regardless of however you want to look at it, we cannot talk about the swicth sales this year and compare it to sales of a 4 year old console and not take into account that the switch had more "hot months" than a year or ever two year old console would have much more a 4 year old one. Thats just fact. And stock issues aren't really issues in the grand scheme of things, because it just means teher is a lot of demand for a certain product. And I dare say the form factors of the PS4/XB1 vs the Switch is so different, that I doubt anyone goes into a store to buy a switch and walks out with a PS4 inatead if spending the exact same amount of money. And lastly, even the March 2017 to march 2018 (1 year) isn't honestly a fair way to compare them. As I said earlier, Nintendo just fucked up the whole comparison battle..... (i believe they did it on purpose to fuck with us at VGC). Why wouldn't it be fair? PS4s launch and poor stock period was in November till around april 2014. If we count the PS4s first 12 months then the PS4 will still have only a launch window to show for itself and not its first holiday window. Whereas the first 12 months of the Switch has both the Launch window and first holiday window. Now because of Nintendo weird launch timeline.... best we can do is compare the first 14 months of the consoles. That way both consoles have their launch and holiday windows accounted for. |
Do this
PS4 launch-Dec 2014
NSW launch-Mar 2018
Its roughly 13 months for both and should look something like
PS4-18.5 million
NSW-~15 million
