| Miyamotoo said: Great Job! So despite Switch still didnt had any any big year this year or any price cut still, until August is selling on pair of what PS4 was selling in 2014. and 2015., very impressive for Switch and Switch would easily beat PS4 in those years with sales in November and December. Also, Switch beating 3DS in every single market with obvious difference is also very positive. |
It really speaks to how significantly the NA market has shrunk that matching the PS4's early NA sales is something to celebrate. They're obviously not bad (in a vacuum they're even pretty good), but we're talking about a system that spent years being the leader in a market where every one of its competitors were significantly down compared to their predecessors, and yet there's a decent chance it wouldn't even be 3rd in the 7th gen.
Things do seem to be getting better though. Thanks to a combination of the PS4's stubborn consistency, the Switch's own successes, MS finally escaping its mistakes, and the 3DS somehow still being alive, the NA market is actually looking pretty healthy.
