Good to see Tekken 7 moving up.

More amazingly, though, GTA V has moved ahead of Zelda and MK8. Wow. That game is ridiculous.

4 years and still a beast, I'm still blown away every time I see it on a top 10 sellers list

So let me get this straight we have a console that is still lagging behind the PS4 if we align launches. The PS4 did release in the holidays, but it didn't release worldwide. Yet it seems some users are already sure the PS4 is on decline, while it's pretty much flat yoy. But the Switch is already destined to outsell this console and apparently is becoming the best selling console of all time. When we look at the raw data PS4 is on the trajectory to sell 16-18 milion in 2017. Yet Nintendo's current plan is to produce 18 million Switches by March 31st 2018 and is competing with apple for parts. So in what way is the Switch already destroying the PS4 while it still selling 185k in a slow week without a major release. Even looking at a very indicative hourly chart the best selling SKU is PS4 Uncharted bundle at place 15. With 4 games of PS4 in the top 20 and 3 Switch games in the top 20. The rest being PSN cards and controllers. The best selling Switch being the legend of Zelda instead of Mario Kart 8 deluxe (surprisingly). While Tekken 7 is the best selling game on place 3 behind two PSN cards.

So the simple conslusion
There is still a huge demand for a homeconsole and the PS4 doesn't seem to be selling any worse because the Switch has released or is in any way starting to show to become irrelevant. It's doing fine and so is the Switch since it's probably still restricted by shipments.

They compete for different markets really, there will only be a small overlap. Although it's really impressive that the Switch can sell these numbers with virtually zero major third party support. 

I never said it wasn't but the constant complaints about Sony only being able to sell consoles if the competition does screw up and Sony being done for when the competition release a console are getting pretty lame.  The Switch is doing really well and hopefully continues to do so. I doubt the Swirch is going to have a really negative impact on PS4 numbers, because it even sold over 200k a week when the Switch launched. The Switch does well and so does the PS4. The PS4 seems to be winning this year and might lose next year, but that won't be because of the Switch but because 2018 is it's fifth year on the market. Although all these theories that there is no room on the market anymore for traditional consoles is getting milked as much as the ... company is doomed. 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

At the time of writing ps4 holds the top 10 spots. 

 

1. Psn card 

2. Psn card 

3. Psn card 

4. Psn card 

5. Psn card

6. Psn card

7. Psn card 

8. Psn card

9. Psn card

10. Psn card 

This sort of domination is noteworthy because a very successful console launch has just taken place.  It highlights how successful psn card continues to be. 

Psn card u are a goddamm exclusive ! :D

I'd say the transition from PS3 to PS4 went smoothly enough for Sony as far as upgrading goes, despite many people having written Sony off beforehand because they fail to appreciate the power of the brand. Besides, this time Sony will likely go into the next transition as the leader, so it shouldn't lead to significant amounts of platform hopping.

As for your other point, that's a pretty big "if" you're basing it on. The user bases should have to be reversed pretty much, because third parties know their math. Also, portability will always have its limits because stationary is the way to go if you truly want to immerse yourself or play competitively, instead of just killing time with your small screen and limited specs while commuting.

Sony's been playing on easy in the home console market for the past few years because MS and Nintendo didn't bother to turn up. PS2 to Wii/PS3/360 showed us how fickle/disloyal PS fans can be when the competition offers a compelling product.

Switch can act as a home console too.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Wow, so you're actually suggesting Nintendo/MS "didn't bother" with the XBO/WiiU.

Yes that's why the WiiU failed, because Nintendo weren't trying. If they actually tried they'd win.

OK, they turned up but they decided to piss in their fan's faces instead of offering a product their fans wanted. Had MS left Kinect 2.0 out and made the system more powerful instead they wouldn't have spent the following years undoing all the damage it caused and Sony wouldn't be dominating the gen. Sony's easy to beat so long as you don't go stupid crazy like Sega/Nin/MS have all done at some point. 3DS managed it no problem.

Yes Sony is easy to beat, history has proved that. By the end of the ps4's life they'll only have the top 3 best selling home consoles of all time.

But yes they may hold all the records, but they're still easy to beat in the home-console space.

What are you on mate?

Plus the 5th. All four of their consoles in the top 5, lol.

Even including handhelds they'll hold 3 places in the top 5 for console sales. xD
