i wonder when people are going to stop using the fact Switch is selling for higher than the base PS4 and X1 models as some kind of achievement when it clearly isn't. It's a new console compared to consoles that are 4 years old. It is impressive for hitting high sales numbers that are in the same ballpark as the other two, but it is not impressive that it is doing it at a higher price

The average consumer sees Nintendo products as high value, it's only the gaming community that's constnatly whining about Nintendo being less powerful etc; So you're right, it isn't impressive, it's expected.

Just like people should stop using the fact that PS4 is 4 years old as an excuse why Switch has been outselling it since this is its peak year.

switch will not outsell ps4 this year in the US or europe, and WW it will be a even bigger gap. system just came out, and nintendo has released nearly everything big franchise its got, switch will be a very front loaded system.

Please don't quote me if you're just going to repeat the same ignorant statements you already made in a dozen other threads. Thanks.

Is that how the average consumer sees Nintendo products? Interesting...

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

The funny thing is you even retracted those statements just to go on and start making them again.

Your narrative is so biased. I wont get into everything but ill say this...

 

*Splatoon

*Zelda

*Mario 3D

 

Those are the system sellers of its first year. What you dont realize is that its not even half and to top it off it doesnt even have the biggest system seller yet lol. As for Mario Kart its a port. Its not a new one. You wouldnt count TLoU Remaster as a new TLoU game so dont do it for MK

Consoles never peak in it's first year.

 

It's more likely to be the third or fourth year... The gap is much more likely to close in. I do think that the ps4 will hold it off more or less next year. After that though... It'll be a mauling.
