So Wii and Switch are ignored?

The number of apples feels pretty irrelevant when your goal is to compare the orange harvest between years.

Also, isn't Switch supposed to be 9th gen? smh



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Really depends if Sony and Microsoft produce more of them or not. Right now, it looks like both have switch about 100% of the production capacities to the next gen and are running out on current gen hardware. If they don't start the production again soon, then this gen will be dead in the water already when the next gen starts,

Switch would compete more with Wii+Wii U+Gamecube than just the Wii alone at this point since the Wii is already starting to lose ground at an increasing pace while the Switch still breaks record sales.

PS4 still has about 4-6 million units left this year whilst the other one is almost dead but can make another 2 million units.

So who knows maybe around June 2021.

It should beat it out by a little bit. PS4 should have a little over 12 million in it by itself. And X1 might do 2 million more.



PS4 + XB1 is going to win this.  PS4 is still selling well in Europe, but European sales are going to be pulling most of the weight at this point.  Also PS3 + X360 lost some people to the Wii that probably came back over to Sony/Microsoft in Generation 8.  And then there is the fact that we have 2 expensive systems launching during a recession, which will probably help PS4+XB1.



I think there's a real chance gen 8 could fall short by 1-2 million if stock for them stops being produced in large numbers soon enough. After this holiday it seems likely the One S will barely sell anymore if there's even any stock to sell by that point, and if even there was stock the Series S will be a massively better purchase, and Sony's push for a quick transition could make them produce not that many after this holiday and if that scenario happens it should fall short. I think gen 8 will be at about 166 million by the end of this year so if only 4-5 million PS4's are sold 2021 onward it'll fall short. For the actual odds of that happening though I have no idea.



The way production lines are going, I bet never. Not unless they start producing more. But right now, I don't think enough even exist to outsell the previous gen so unless Sony and Microsoft think about production after the launch of next gen, this is it.



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I put a big 1k bet on oct 2021.

We are talking 12Munits combined in a little over a year. They will hit that. Cause when the new consoles are released, there will be fire sales all over the place. We will be seeing PS4s and XB1s for under $199.
