You are right about "Dude Stop".

Shooting down different theories basically saying "agree with me or you're off topic"  are how the walls for an echo chamber are built, in which case the thread itself probably shouldn't have been created in the first place.

Yeah but how many posts have actually argued the actual topic? You can't have a discussion when the whole first page of the topic is just people trolling (and looking at FloatingWaffles' post, it looks like it's still going).

And how exactly is my post trolling, apparently?

Lmao I love how Lawlight is saying people need to get moderated for taking this thread off topic... while literally taking this thread off topic by defending Kerotan to the last breath.

It really should not be so hard to have a constructive thread but when you constantly deny any answers but your own(without evidence might I add) is just an echo chamber. No hate towards any users, that is just the reality of what is happening. 

 

We can take the opportunity right now to make everything after this comment on topic.

You're off topic.

It is not possible for one company to cannibalize another.

It was just a joke bro, lol! Oh, no...now I'm off topic! Shite!

But so the mods won't ban me,

PS4 is in competition with Switch, the Switch isn't cannibalizing the PS4. Cannibalizing would be if the PS5 came out this year and shorted PS4's peak years. Yup, I'm on topic!

I feel like they probably will soon, either that or just straight up lock this thread since there isn't any real discussion to be had here. Lawlight is probably reporting every comment for 'trolling', he still hasn't even explained to me how my post was apparently trolling lol.

I think they're either sleep/work/or analyzing the entire thread before making a sound judgement...I hope.



The demographics for each platform are different, switch is popular with elementary to high schoolers, and small families, ps4 is popular with the highschool to college age kids, and young men, and because the latter demographic has much less free time than the former,the latter is less likely to buy a games console as they have much less time to enjoy it.

Ironically, psp, ds and 3ds seem to be the console of choice for business men who game, since they can do it during the work commute with relative ease, and the consoles themselves can be bought very cheaply pre-owned.

I have never seen anyone on their commute playing switch, it is most likely due to its size, it is not the sort of size that would be comfortable to play on a packed train.

You only really see young kids in the mall with them sat somewhere playing while thier parents do the shopping.

 

Back to the point, different demographics have different buying patterns and available time patterns, for example early in a year workflow is generally slow, with the days being longer people studying or working gave more time, where as kids and young teens generally make use of the time to play outside and hang out, but the closer to winter you get, the less available time college and university students have, there's exams, cramming, shorter days, businesses ramp up the workload in expectation of the holidays, (December is the most stressful month for workers in japan) where as kids are spending more time in the house bored because it's dark and cold out by 5pm, and schools out for Christmas, so they have much more time for things like gaming. 

So no, ps4 sales don't cut into switch, and switch sales don't cut into ps4
