Great opening for Kingdom Hearts and Resident Evil, both are fantastic games from what I have played so far so well deserve to both Square and Capcom.

PS4 did better then I expect, but yikes it only beat the Switch by only a couple hundred units on the week its two biggest games of the year released, this will probably the be the best weak for the PS4 until the holidays and last it will top the Switch period.

In fairness the average price of those ps4 sold was well above that of the switch this week. The Switch is still the hot new hardware yet the ps4 in it's 6th year is desperately in need of a price cut. It's as simple as that.

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) ......., it was launched ....... on February 22, 2014, in Japan.

so it's turning five year old next month in Japan. 

I think Switch  will be at the same weekly HW level after 5 year, but having sold way more units than Ps4 in the same period time.
