| Nuvendil said: Funny how some people will no doubt make a big deal about the Switch not beating the PS4 every NPD but here we have evidence, cold hard evidence, that the Switch is still very healthy thus far. Especially when you consider the PS4 had 8 significant releases in Q1 and the Switch had 2 and some midtier backup. Just a hunch, but I am pretty sure the Switch will feed the PS4 its own eyeballs in Q2 of this comparison. Although that June boost could help the PS4 draw close to even with it so maybe not. Q3 might be an easy Switch win depending on Nintendo's plans for August and September. We know July is stacked. Q4 is where the PS4 exploded and will be the big challenge. However overall, I think the two will probably be fairly comparable by the end. Unless Nintendo busts out a gold holiday bundle+Smash AND Pokemon. I do find it interesting how Switch seems more even keeled. It seems it sells more on its own without major software vs the PS4 at this point was still spiking drastically. |
Wasn't Nintendo fans bragging about how much 3rd party support they were getting and how fantastic and strong the HW is? So why didn't these 11 games launch on Switch?
