And my point is that the NS is still under 2 years old. And this is only its second holiday season. Its price of entry is also lower than the price of entry for the PS4 at the same time in its life.

It shouldn't need deals like what the PS4 is currently employing to sell well. And it selling as well as it is selling isn't a big deal cause its performing as well as any well performing console before it. Even the XB1 is putting up god numbers this month. 

You say the switch still has its launch price.... it took sony 3 years to get to the current switch launch price. 

Why are you comparing price without context of the hardware?

Wow.... so when its convenient we should talk about context of the hardware?

I guess nintendo is lucky.... its s may things and nothing in particular either way.

But let me be clear. These are my points.

 

  1. in its second november the PS4 also showed similar YOY "percentage gains". 85% YOY increase in 2015 compared to 2014.
  2. It was sold at $350 during that period and had its deals too. The same way the switch has its deals now.
  3. the 2 yr old switch that is still "new"  doesn't have to have the same kinda deals the 5yr old PS4 has to sell well or on par. If anything the PS4 needs deals like that after having sold almost 30M consoles in NA to remain competitive.
  4. the switch is doing "as well" as any great selling console before it. And its current numbers are in line with the projections most made here on this site. The PS4 is below our projections... but most also said it would only be limited by how many SM bundles they make available. We changed our expectations when we noticed the stock situation was similar to last year.
