While I share your opinion that the Switch may not outsell PS4, I don't understand your argumentation. Switch sells slightly better that the PS4 did in its first year, even though back then the amount of people "left" to buy a PS4 was significantly higher than now.

Yes and that demonstrates that my argument is only part of the equation and so I'm NOT saying the Switch won't sell as much as PS4 for SURE. I'm just saying there is a trend there.

Exactly as we would have said after 1 year of PS4 sales back in 2014 that the PS4 is selling well but no one could say back then that it will get to 100M lifetime.

At this point I'd say this: If Nintendo does not release big guns within the Switch's lifetime sales it will ALMOST for sure never sell as much as the PS4. But I assume that Nintendo will release big titles in the coming years. A new big Zelda and Mario would definitely help and there is still Metroid Prime 4 still coming.

All I'm saying is that right now the PS4 despite having sold so much and definitely not "young" in sales manages to still be number 1 and that is very impressive by any standards.

Your two posts are just bizarre. You're trying to argue that PS4 selling a little more than Switch right now means that Switch won't beat PS4. There is literally no correlation or trend to take from that. Thaddeus correctly correlated two pieces of data by comparing their first year sales, I don't think you understand how to make relations with data.

And now you're talking about a possible future in which Nintendo won't bring its big games to the Switch???? What???? Seriously...Whatt?? Why would you even say that? That is such a bizarre thing to say. Of course they are going to put ALL their big franchises on the Switch, its their only platform once the 3DS dies off. Just such a weird non-sensical thing to say, which goes along with your very strange attempt to correlate current weekly sales with lifetime sales of a system. PS4 is in the later stages of its peak years, Switch is still ramping up production and trying to meet demand and for the Feb 17th charts is not even one year since it launched so is nowhere near its peak years...and yet you don't consider that at all. Just a very strange couple of posts from you to be honest.
