If you have chart for total SW sold by PS4 and PS5 in Japan why not provide instead of this tirade? Because as I said I have seem the Famitsu charts showing rank per week (in which yes Switch dominates) but not full year sum of all software sold on the system.

HW power is as objective as you can get, their are cold data.

Cool that you like to spin mean to words, from mediocre to liar now.

And you keep talking like you know most of the users for a long time, while being a member for less than a month, won't you disclose your true account of it got perma banned due to poor behavior? Because your current account was already moderated quite a few times in such a short time.

Would have to link from another forum with the data and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that. I'm I? Regardless you should educate yourself on that if you don't know. You also cant just brush off the PS5 having terrible rankings weekly. Those rankings don't need high figures to enter the top 30 and PS5 still struggles. The current week (Jan 1, 2024 to Jan 7, 2024) for example has the lowest selling game of roughly 4K. How can only a single game on PS5 (Spider-Man 2) be in the top 30? This only requires 4K of sales. That right there should be a big indicator. 

HW power is objective and so is portability/convenience. So what's your point? None of this has anything to do with PS5 selling less software than WiiU and Vita. Is WiiU now a success? I certainly don't think so, so a platform with objectively less software is terrible. PS5 hardware looks good but software looks atrocious, that's why I said mediocre performance in Japan.

I didn't spun anything, you continue to be dishonest about what I said. I clarified it again and you will likely claim that same mess you continue to spew. It's illogical, I want him to eat crow, so why get made at a pessitimic prediction? Obviously if I thought he lied about it then I would have an issue with that.

What are you talking about with this knowing people? We are all random people posting on a forum, I don't need to have been a member here to see your public post on a public website for years. I know xtrem was previously known as yo, I have been a fan of this site for years. Since Wii days when Wii needed massive adjustments because it was very difficult to track. Members have come and gone such as source and the owner or previous owner ioi. Yes I have been watching ever since, Rol is another long time member whom has never cared to become a mod here. I seen him have that conversation. I have been here for probably 15 years. This is all irrelevant, this doesn't matter, stick to what I'm talking about instead of my membership lol. Dispute what I said.

If the information is credible it isn't from a forum, it is from a tracking company like Circana, Famitsu, etc so even if you saw it in a forum it would have to be sourced from one of those places.

Switch dominates the ranking for console games much stronger than WiiU would, so for a title on PS5 to show on the rank against Switch is much harder than for a PS4 title to show against WiiU.

Top 30 covers only that the 30 most sold titles (and just going for what was showed on the Nintendo userbase purchase of 3rd parties, from like the 52 titles that sold over 1M there was like 7 3rd parties without Nintendo IPs and yet 3rd parties made 50% of total sales per Nintendo report. But if you were to look for global ranking you would seldomly see those titles charting for Nintendo (like pick Circana ranking and look for Switch exclusives that aren't made by Nintendo and how many times do you think they would show)?

Yes PS5 have very few blockbusters in Japan, but that doesn't necessarily means it total SW sales is much worse than PS4 (even if it was tracking behind in HW sales before this year). So looking only at the ranking without having the totals don't help much at all.

Of course Switch power doesn't have anything with PS5 ranking. My point is that if you want to use indirect and poor comparison between things to claim "objectively" mediocre for PS5 sales then it is just as valid to say Switch is a mediocre system.

You love to call people liars and dishonest don't you?

You want us to believe you have been a constant lurker on this site for over 15 years and never had an account here and decided to open one at december of all times and immediately engage in confrontation because someone had a not great Switch prediction that he updated based on more current data but didn't point the exact day he changed his prediction going as far as calling him liar and dishonest and now doing the same with me? Sure, and we are the liars and dishonest.
