Sony and Nintendo are killing it.

Console gaming is at his peak. <3

Have you seen amazon.co.jp lately ? 3 models of PS4 (all sold out) ranking higher than those poor Switches...

First Japan, then eventually the same phenomenon will come the the west. It's inevitable...like the sun. :P

Are you sweating now for our bet ?

Huuum, why you think so?

January is already over man, and Monster Hunter already released. It boosted PS4 in Japan, but doesn't looks like it did in the west looking at Amazon. The game sold pretty good but it didn't move console, which is comprensible, this is the biggest PS4 game ever in Japan, and PS4 does not sell bad but not amazing like in the west.

 

In the US, PS4 always sold strong, and of course at this point of his life even a big game like Monster Hunter can't move many console withouth a bundle, if Destiny 2 can't, Monster Hunter can't too.

 

Don't worry anyway, results will happen soon. Switch dominate Amazon... by an insane margin... so i would be pretty surprised if i loose this bet.

It's only for MH launch for Japan. They don't really want home consoles there and it's not after 4 years of being released that it will suddenly surpass the Switch forever when it was never doing really well.

Switch is out of stock in Japan, there hasn't been any big releases since December 1st (which wasn't even big in Japan so since Mario Odyssey). I'm 100% sure it will get back on top and Ps4 will sink under 40k a week pretty quickly. Switch will have highs and lows till next Fiscal year I think.

They do sound like two exotic bird species.

 

Perhaps Kerotan sneezed twice as he was typing?

Should be an easy victory for you.

Why would anyone expect the PS4 to win? It's on its 5th January whereas the Switch is on its very first...
