Forums - Sales Discussion - Nintendo Switch Outsells Xbox One Worldwide

One step at a time; as far as systems from rival companies go, the next target is the PSP.



Around the Network

As a big fan of both consoles (definitely the bigger Nintendo fan but plays XB One quite a bit more than Switch - mostly b/c of Overwatch), I am happy for Nintendo, though the XB One definitely deserves more love - just can't seem to crack that Japanese market. It's definitely impressive the Switch managed to outpace it by such a degree - its huge, diverse library, strength of its ips like Mario and Pokemon, Switch lite release, & the added value of its handheld functionality all are contributors that make it tough for MS to contend with.

"Mark my words, this (Nintendo Switch) is bombing harder than the Wii U."

I was gonna ask you to refresh my memory on who gifted us this quote, but then I remembered I can't talk as I also predicted before Switch's launch that it would bomb. XD

Yours truly will never live this down.



Oh, wow!!! Given the joke of a preview of the Xbox Series X, they might be on track to be last again next gen (yikes).
PS4 is about 102M (?) - suspect Switch will be getting to that territory.

That is rather fitting and likely a coincidence. Microsoft is likely going to go all out to start the next generation on the right foot. 

Shame about the name though. I can see a lot of casuals being confused on what the "Series X" is supposed to be.

It'll be "Is the Wii U just a tablet add-on to the Wii?" all over again.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! My first thought when they revealed it was 'wait, are they releasing a new Xbone without a disc drive or something?" then they revealed the name and only then did I even consider this was what Scarlet might be. Some people might like it, but I think this is hilariously dumb.

Yes, yes it is. the Switch is an outstanding console and easily gets the most playtime out of me over the last year, but the PS4 is doing phenomenally well. it's at over 100 million and I see it doing 20 million more, easily. for Switch to beat that, it needs to do 80+ million more - and while I think this is possible, I don't think it's probable. I see both breaching 100 million to become the 2nd and 3rd highest selling home consoles of all time, but I think it's gonna go PS2, PS4, Switch, PS1, Wii. and you know what? I'm okay with that. All of those consoles are great.

Agreed.  When we get Sony's report for the end of this year, it should be at 108M-110M.  After this fiscal year ending March 2020, it will 100% be beyond 110M.  Considering we still have yet to have a permanent cut to below $299, which we should get next year (at least to $249, hopefully $199), I can see it easily hitting 125M-135M in the end.



Next year will be the peak year because Animal Crossing + BOTW 2 + Switch Pro.



There’s no way BOTW 2 will launch without new hardware.

Links Awakening was timed (as well as Pokémon) with the lite.

According to king zell (trusted leaker) BOTW2 comes out next year.

The last 3 home console Zeldas (TP, SS, BotW) have been delayed, so I am not getting my hopes up.

Was about to post this. I sure that BOTW2 is internally planned for 2020, but given historical precedent I expect there's a good chance it'll slip into 2021.
