Can we end this argument? Horrible to witness.

UK is a tiny market compared to Japan. And Nintendo has historically always been weak in the UK while Playstation used to be a very strong brand in Japan (its freaking home country no less). If you can't tell the difference then I don't know what to tell you.

What triple A Japanese home console games have Nintendo taken from Sony? Did I miss something?
| Kerotan said: Fact is 2017 overall is up nicely over 2016. |
Will it be in 5 weeks? Its up by less than 170k YOY and like you said, its down so far this quarter and there is no reason to think that will change since PS4 got Final Fantasy XV & Yakuza 6 in weeks 48 & 49 last year and has nothing near as big as that this year.
PS4 sold ~475k (95k/week) in the last 5 weeks of 2016. If PS4 sells 350k in the last 5 weeks of this year it will be up less than 3% YOY.
Obviously any growth is good but you are exaggerating how much its up.

The difference is that Tbone doesnt go around trying to downplay good Sony sales while Lawlight is constantly downplaying anything Nintendo related.

The number was too big for him to say anything else.

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.

This thread is very interesting. Anyway on non Switch hardware related news. Zelda has gone up by 116%! What's even more crazy is that Animal Crossing went up by like 200% and that game is five years old. Animal Crossing will leave no survivors when it launches on the Switch.

This is true, but not in a good way.
| Train wreck said: The PS4 is just priced too high for its age. 29800Y is too much to ask for a system nearing its 4th year in Japan. |
Is that Sony's fault or retailers?
