Its not much ahead of the Switch in the US, and thats not factoring in the fact that the Switch had hardly any noteworthy game released on it in 2018, outside of good ports(but still ports).But thats beyond the point.What should be more important than what a console is doing right now, is what the company themselves are forecastingfor said consoles in the future, and thats a bigger evidence than anything you and I mentioned here.Sony forecast 16 million units sold for this fiscal year(a decline) while the Nintendo forecast 20 million units sold this fiscal year(an increase, and for Switch only).In these forecasts they already factor things like bundles and special deals and price cuts, so this is a better basis to build an argumentation about the company prospects than anything else.Im not saying that things could turn out differently, but its just unlikely.And as time goes on, so does the console sales also decrease,after it passed its prime years, simply because the customer that wanted that console already bought it.So the likelyhood of PS4 selling better than it did this year is small. About the Switch games, any exclusive moves systems, even if its a fraction of the number a bigger IP does.And 50% of the total number of Pokemon fans are still huge, given that the Pokemon fanbase is on the millions if Im not mistaken.And you just countered those games from all the ones I mentioned.Thats just goes to show how many bullets Nintendo has left. |
Company forcasts can be hit and miss, they don't mean much to me, nintedo predicted way to high with the wiiu, and way too low with switch.
