I voted X1>PS4>NS on the poll. I guess I underestimated the power of that $199 deal.

But I'm not surprised one bit about the NS being way behind.  I mean, the thing didn't have any deals for God's sake.  I'm still scratching my head trying to understand why would anyone go out of their home to buy an item on black friday when they could get said item just any other day for the same price.

Were you trying to be sarcastic here because anyone knows that $100 makes a big difference. I can only imagine the difference it would have been if the PS4 was $299 in 2014.

I thought the report said it sold within expectations.

Pretty good. Now let’s put that into context - how much did you predict it would sell in November?

Or the Switch launching with a retail price of 399$

The PS4 wasn't up against a $200 PS4 in its first November neither. It was up against the pariahs that were X1 and WiiU.

The two Novembers aren't very comparable.

See you i can actually have a conversation with without any biased towards a certain conpany. That said ps4 level of selling power is by far number 1 of any home console/handheld ever made. Yes Wii did well if not better but at the end of the day anything being directly compared to number 1 (especially from people like Lawlight) will always make it seem like it didnt do great.

To answer your question price isnt everything when it comes to gaming. It certainly a factor but again not 100%. Compare the Switch to 3ds for example. 3ds already cut the price and it was almost half of what switch ($170 vs $300) yet switch is coming on top (excluding japan because it still being held back by supply issues)

Things just happen, even if some people were expecting more, its still doing good. Switch is in possibly the best sitution after the SNES any1 can ask for (nintendo). Overlooking this one thing will certainty shake up people in the future

Edit: i forgot, switch has by far wayyyy more competition compared to ps4 first holiday season. Ps4 dealt only with Microsoft which had to cut price to compete with sony. WiiU was dead. Switch on the other hand has X1X launch and crazy deals with the os4 slim and x1s ($200/$190)

Isn’t the console being 4 years old a detriment to that console? And back in 2014, the PS4 was going against the $149 3DS and the $199 WiiU though. And the $330 Xbox One.

I didnt predict numbers. In my thread i predicted ps4>x1>switch and i was right.

That said what does any1 predictions have to do with an item selling well? According to you pokemon XY sold EXTREMELY well as you only predicted lifetime sales of 12mil and its closing in on 17mil

Remember all the people that said $299 for Switch was way too high and it would fail because of it?

Now all of a sudden its only doing this well because its $299?
