Maybe you should check, or just ask Shadow, he has all the data dating back to 2000 or so.

i already checked the best selling consoles, all sold peanuts there first holiday, at best 2-400k more, then if they launched at march.

Do you think the PS4 will still be on top past these holiday months then?

We are talking about 2nd month drop.

Every console that launches in Nov has a relatively consistent 2nd month.

Every console that launches in Spring has a sharp 2nd month drop.

That is why launching in the holidays is an advantage when comparing launches aligned.

what consoles are you talking about ? wii, 360, and ps2 were sold out for months.

Yeh, i wouldn't put too much faith in that chart, it's about 2 months out of date now. If it were to be updated it would likely resemble the Amazon chart much more. 

 

Also do you not realise people buy Switch as Christmas presents too and if someone wants a Switch for Christmas, they are not gonna be impressed with a PS4, simply because it's cheaper. Iirc, Nintendo usually get the biggest HW spikes, relatively to their competitors. Nintendo make desirable Christmas presents, it seems. Again, a quick look on Amazon most wished list will confirm this to you. Ik Amazon isn't a stonewall indicator of what will happen but gives a very good guide/insight. It's good you are checking there. It means you are at least learning something!

LOL no it wouldn't,  you are being ridiculous. you have Arms for switch in front of wild lands, and destiny 2 , lol. Or about you compare 2016 best selling games on amazon to npd.

You really need to get your facts right, or at least post credible stuff. I've no idea where you pulled that NPD list from. Your ass probably.Even if it had a semblance of credibility, it is counting MULTIPLATS! Therefore, xbOne/PS4 sales vs Switch and 3ds single platform games! Lmao your proof is actually laughable!

It is wishful thinking. I can hate nintendo with a passion and see its going to go up YoY for obvious reasons. I mean unless im Colin... Then maybe not

It's no different then people thinking vita couldn't beat who u or ps4 wouldn't beat who u in Japan.  People think with their hearts not their heads .

Though it has some truth to it, ps4 was slow at first amd wiiu pushed with a holiday to keep it ahead. Anyone tht knows sales can see switch will be up next year. Its basic knowledge with all the info we have.

 

Basically anyone that thinks switch will be down next year or whatever other excuse come up with is showing clear biased toward nintendo.

You literally just have to look through the last few pages of  this thread to see people saying that Nintendo released all their big games already making this its peak year.

Some people even said Switch would be done by 2020.

 

There is a popular thread going on right now that tracks all the current consoles launches aligned.

PS4-8.72 million

Switch-7.00 million

3DS-4.97 million

XBO-4.61 million

 

Your last question is really dumb, by selling more than PS4 in the years to come.

Ok, so launches aligned the PS4 is almost 2 million ahead? 

Well then...i mean, the PS4 has not even peaked yet LOL

It is dumb to think that the PS4 sales will suddenly plummet, specially considering what comes next year for the PS4, and the year after that.

Basically the proof is right here before our eyes, and im seeing a lot of factual evidence and a lot of wishful thinking. 

Choose your side.

This will likely be the PS4 peak year so all downhill from here, although i do realise it will be a slow fall in sales. Ps consoles have incredible lastability. The 1st year comparison has PS4 with a holiday behind it. Switch 1st holiday is coming up soon so it wouldn't surprise me if the Switch actually takes the lead, launches aligned. It will be closer than you think.

The PS4 has already had a few years of outstanding success, while the Switch has had less than one year. If Microsoft actually starts putting up a fight it could prove hard for the Switch, a system that is already struggling with ports of current games, to have the legs to surpass a system (the PS4) that essentially held unrivaled control of the market for the better part of half a decade.

For that reason I think it would be foolish to assume the Switch will surpass the PS4 as of right now even though I adore the Switch and expect it to also be a huge success.

So basically the exact same as even people laughed at me for saying ps4 would pass Wii u the next year. It was so obvious but they let their bias make the judgement.  

 

Same as when people said Xbox one could still beat ps4 .
