Nr 50 today, nr 1 tomorrow. The great comeback of the XBox One has started. Now it's in the charts nothing can stop it anymore from claiming dominance. With a few copies of Forza are out in the wild, word of mouth will work its wonder and soon Switches and PS4s will soon sit by the side of the road waiting for the garbage truck.

In a month with "Super Mario Odessey" and "GTSports"..... that seems likely :)

Japanese apartments are small, they need to make room for the xbox one x. Who cares about a deadbeat plumber and run down wannabe racer :)

You should read some of the content.

Hilarious thread.

Just one problem. You said the software for the Switch was barren. When on the contrary it already has a million seller which took Wii U and PS4 years to get. It getting Splatoon 2 (sequel to Wii U's best seller in Japan) so early and Zelda+ Mario Kart at launch is like PS4 getting FFXV (sequel to PS3's best seller in Japan) and DQXI so close to launch.

My comment on the retail release schedules was refering to quantity of games. Not sure what the exact count has been in 2017, but I'd give the PS4 a 3:1 advantage over Switch as the bare minimum. Could be 4:1 or even more.

Switch certainly had some really big titles, but there hasn't been much inbetween them so far.

Quantity can make an impact, but in the end won't mean too much. Consoles need big games too.

Proof: Vita

It might still be in the lead but will soon lose to PS4 and Switch, despite having the majority of games in Media create 1000 in both 2015 and 2016.

Where did Forza 6 or Horizon 3 chart?

I did. And I read the post that started all this, in the Media Create thread.

Yes, consoles need big games and they are harder to come by than pure quantity.

I'll try to frame the point made in the original post in a different way: The PS4 is already at the point where it has gotten about as good as it can get while the Switch still has big room for improvement, yet Switch is already beating the PS4 comfortably.

Acceptable.

Especially comparing launch year vs peak year and Switch has yet to have its first holiday.

I wouldn’t worry about Japanese devs jumping onboard the Switch. Ryuzaki will convince them it’s a bad idea.

Probably would have charted a couple spots higher if Toyota and Lexus's production cars would have been in the game. But Toyota is being asses about their production cars and no longer wants them in games where they are modifiable and up-gradable.
