| RolStoppable said: Secondly, I don't see the merit in doing Switch vs. two competitors' consoles combined. Switch vs. DS already provides enough perspective to gauge whether or not Switch can sell 160m+. Switch vs. PS3+360 or Switch vs. PS4 + XB1 would paint exactly the same picture, so they'd be redundant comparisons for VGC as a sales website. Of course, users in the forums are free to make any kind of comparisons, but for VGC articles it would look very arbitrary. Through 64 months we have: Switch: ~110m But while PS4 + XB1 post the highest LTD by a significant margin, we already know that they will finish below PS3 + 360, because that's how different sales curves can be. Regardless of what we compare Switch against, ultimately it will always come down to the question of the longevity of Switch, not what we compare Switch against. That's why comparisons against Sony and Microsoft consoles won't tell us anything that we don't already know anyway. |
I think seeing the different sales curves would make it interesting but only Switch vs. DS being needed is fair.
