If it can keep this up for ~3-4 more years it definitely is. It's a monster start at this point in any case.
| Mnementh said: Well, sales got more frontloaded in recent years, so the only really surprising is PS4, as this started off pretty well. And looking at the graph we see, that it can be in part attributed to the different launch dates. PS4 will have it's holiday peak later. Still, if momentum of Switch is good going into the new year, there might be a chance Switch stays ahead. Other than that we could expect based on earlier Nintendo consoles, that Switch might stop selling earlier than the competition. Although, for Wii it really was the fault of Nintendo who stopped supporting the Wii. So maybe this time it is different. But Nintendo is Nintendo, they could easily do it again. |
Yeah, and than Switch will be again above with its holiday season...but in any case point that Switch and PS4 are very comparible is great in any case, because PS4 is becoming 2nd best selling home console of all times. Also, when we comparing them, we could said that in that period (at end of its 2nd year) PS4 had permanentt price cut, while Switch still has launch price point.
Nintendo very clearly said that they want Switch to have longer life span than usual 5-6 years, and that tottaly make sense because 3DS will be dead this year and Switch is their only platform going forward. I think Switch will have similar life span and support like 3DS, so we talking around 7 years probably, with huge difference that Switch has much stronger sales and popularity in any case.

hmm? those 3DS numbers don't align with this chart from the very dependable era user hiska-kun

The Switch would need to ship ~6m next quarter to stay ahead of PS4.. |
Really, that much? The lines look so close pre-holidays. Well, then I guess PS4 and Switch keep up the dance of rotating lead.

A drought of no software lol. At one stage it was tracking at like 140million then it crashed hard.
