Holy crap though, 130k behind a launching console?

Then again actually it did launch in March so PS4 had a 2/3 month head start.

Plus PS4 is in its peak year I'd imagine plus tons of ns shortages.

Honest questions: wouldn't this be a decline year? Isn't the 4th year down from the 3rd year typically?

It appears to me at least that they choose not to step on each others toes. PlayStation could make a Mario Kart game and have a large line up of family friendly games made at any time, but they haven't with their friendship they choose not doing so.

Sure. But the PS4 is up YoY on almost, if not every region thus far.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Consoles don't usually have hardware revisions that actually increase visuals/resolution, so what's usual doesn't apply here because of the PS4 pro.

no it didnt, Switch crossed the 1 million mark in less than half the time it took Wii U in Japan so its not at all a similar situation.
