Only one person in the prediction thread didnt put ps4 on top so much for that consensus |
To be fair, if anyone said something like "Switch will win every NPD in 2018", they may very well have changed their outlook after seeing the first few NPD's of this year. (Interesting that the average prediction on VGC came very close to the actual NPD estimates, based on RolStoppable's table.)
Personally I don't recall encountering opinions like that commonly on VGC. @Ryng_Tolu said that he thinks there's a chance of Switch outselling every month, but that's not a confident prediction.
Though while I have your attention if you see this Ryng, you also made this bold claim:
- "When Switch has enough stock and PS4 has no insane promotions, there is no way PS4 sells close to switch in USA."
I'm curious how you view this now? If you still stand by it, do you think PS4 had insane promotions, and Switch had stock issues, during the NPD's that PS4 outsold switch?

I just hope we can stop with the Switch is a Wii like phenomena now. It will likely outsell the Wii in the long run but it's not something other worldly.
Also pretty confident Ps4 will win the holidays with a pricecut. Once digital is factored into sales MLB will be number 2 pretty easily. |
If Switch ends up outselling Wii, what would be your issue with referring to it as a Wii-like phenomena?
I'm not sure how you define that term, but you seem to be referring to sales.

Wii was selling as much as they could ship for a few years meaning that demand was something unseen before. Switch is selling like any other successful console spikes at launch and holidays and steady sales throughout. My issue is that since Switch outsold Wii in its first 12 months some use that to paint a picture that switch is just as popular as Wii at its peak but supply of switch is more and wii was held back by lack of supply.
