No I described as mediocre due to the software performance, you can't just look at the hardware. Basically hardware good, software bad leading to mediocre overall. That's not hard to understand. It literally has worst software sales than WiiU, how is that excusable. You are obsessed with Switch I see, so please tell me how Switch would be mediocre without telling me something subjective? There is nothing subjective about selling less software than WiiU and being considered poor performance. On the other hand, Switch is the 3rd highest selling platform in hardware history and like 3rd or 4th in software (think PS2, PS4, and PS1 are still above it). Two of those platforms Switch smoked in hardware and I doubt PS1 stays ahead in software, even PS2 doesn't look out of reach but PS4 I think is way too high software wise. Switch is likely the most profitable system in history and maybe PS2 and PS4 have made more revenue. In what way is Switch's global performance comparable to PS5's performance in Japan? |
I dont think DonFerrari was referring to Switch global performance (if I'm wrong on that please correct me).
Anyways, regarding PS5 and the WiiU in Japan only.
| PS5 | WiiU | |
| Hardware Sales | 4.97M | 3.33M |
| Software Sales | Min 4.35M | 15.83M |
Data comes from VGChartz & Famitsu Top 30 Software 2020-2024. If you find anything better please share with the class.
You are comparing a 3 year old console to a 5 year old console.
You cant compare apples to oranges. But looking at the chart, yes PS5 is having a rough time with PS5 specific software for now. Playstation isn't as popular in Japan as it is in Europe or the Americas.
And I dont appreciate the personal bashing. No one thinks that DonFerrari is a liar. Neither is XtremeBG.

In this sense, sales are hard facts both software and hardware. Technology comparison between consoles is fact.
