Man these threads get ugly during the holidays

Let them have their moment. Switch have been dominating in the last few weeks / months. 

Are you for real?

 

PS4 is not going to start magically tanking after the holidays. PS4 and Switch will continue to sell,but they have their own territories where each dominate(and in U.S. all three are doing great). Switch is doing great but cmon.

I agree. Like I said you can't stop Ultimate Gohan and Gohan SSJ2 to do great.

Tbf the Switch has won most of the months since launch in the US with stock restrictions so if the PS4 is Ultimate Gohan the switch should be Ultra Instinct Goku or SS Blue Goku.

He's talking about Switch sales in the US.

I never thought these type of beasts still existed in modern times. I assumed they were just myths passed down from generation to generation.

A PS4 at 150 would blow away everything so what’s your point? 

Lowering prices to increase sales is not a new concept.

I'm fine with that.

LOL what? 

The PS4 has been dominating since Day Numero Uno.

I think the moment belongs to the Nintendo fanbase that came from one of the, if not THE biggest disaster in Videogame history with the Wii U.

Last time I checked this was "Amazon U.S thread" . Look at the yearly and monthly charts.

I thought you hated Price Cuts. Werent you defending the fact that Nintendo games rarely have discounts?

If Nintendo at some point lower the price of the Switch to 200$, i want to see you Front Row complaining to Reggie and Co.

Games and hardware are hardly the same thing. When manufacturing costs go down, so should the hardware itself. Hardly rocket science. 

Nothing wrong with price cuts on games either, but when major price cuts happen a month or two after launch it's not very healthy for the gaming industry in the long term (because they will try to make up the lost revenue in other ways like loot boxes and micro-transactions). 

Honestly, it seems your argument could be summed up as "Whatever Nintendo does is right."  To me, it seems both models have a place in the industry and neither are really unhealthy.  Personally, I would prefer Nintendo adopt the other model, since I would buy more of their games.  I'm not paying near full price for a 2+ year old game.  But, Nintendo seems to get away with it, so it doesn't really matter.

And what's the number one selling console in the US this year?  The PS4, you say.  Cool.  And if Sony has piled up enough stock, it looks like they may be keeping that crown.

Personally, I don't get the whole put the PS4 against the Switch at this point in time.  Especially when fans of neither console just use it as a hit against the PS4 when their console of choice is faltering.  They both are selling great.  They both offer different experiences that consumers see value in.  And neither seem to be hurting sales of the other.  Sony rules home consoles.  Nintendo rules handhelds.  Period.
