lol, before most people were saying Switch would win every month until at least September, now this result was predictable? ok then

in any case, there probably wasn't much between them, and supply may be an issue, though nowhere near to the extent as it seems to be in Japan. Next month will be close also, PS4 seems to have been boosted a bit by the limited Gold edition console, and I don't think ARMS will push hardware at all

also, Ubisoft seem to be having a real good year so far

If I had a penny for every time this happened, especially here...

 

Anyway, good to see the ps4 back on top. It deserves the spot at the moment.

I went to a local store in Greece the other day and not only did they have several NS consoles, they had a 30 euro discount. Can't they send some of those to countries that need them? They'd even make a decent profit.

Greece is Sony land, and  Just now the Gold and silver ps4 slim has arrived,so i see those NS stay on stores long time, is good though, that NS get discound,  Greece taxes is very high

The fact that they're beating Switch with no major releases yet. Shows this gen is basically over as far as who'll win. Switch and x1 will still sell respectable though.

you can walk into a store and buy a PS4. you can go online to Amazon and buy a PS4.

you can do neither the majority of the time (online or in person) anywhere in the USA or Japan at the moment for the Switch. I think it's fairly obvious if all things were equal in terms of supply in the marketplace the Switch would clearly be vastly ahead in May

it was obvious, and yet before the result most were 100% sure Switch would win.

lol why don't you wait until the holidays to say something like that, if the Switch doesn't beat the PS4 this holiday, I'll be very surprised, it's a new console.

And considering Street Fighter position I would say Capcom have their answer on the Switch fanbase wanting their games.

They got the answer they deserve for their effort

And that put SF II high on Switch chart, so that can translate to there being a eager market for Capcom on Switch.

so if it doesn't beat PS4 in holiday.. blame it back on Stock issue!!.. This is getting old, i cant believe people are buying manufacturing issue BS.. there is nothing new in Switch that isnt being mass produced already for mobile phones. Unlike GDDR5 in PS4 during launch, still PS4 stock issues where next to none.
