Some people are really saying that switch is slowing down or that demand isn’t as high as we thought, when it overtook PS4 launch aligned as of this week (not even halfway through December)?

I mean if you look at the graph and can't see it i'm sorry. mario is the  biggest gaming franchise, and best selling 64 game, not to mention it shat on everything at the time, from graphics, to controls. it was revolutionary. you think N64 wasn't sold out with such a small amount of sales.  it also had mario kart 64 come out in december, i mean come on.

Which is why he said, "it will remain behind worldwide" ... 

I also don't think it's likely that the Switch will outsell the PS4 in the US but if history is anything to go by, there are at least 2 portable Nintendo systems which were able to cross 40M units (not counting GBC with GB since GBC had actual exclusive killer apps, massive mistake on VGC's part to GBC figures with GB) so it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Switch could outsell PS4 in the US providing if Xbox remains as strong competition ... 

I think I might have finally figured out the reason why GBA did better than the 3DS in both WW and especially in the US and why Switch might not be able to reach the same heights ... 

If people take a look at the GBA software sales one would get the impression that GBA had weaker system sellers compared to the 3DS but despite having less killer apps in comparison to the 3DS, GBA managed to soundly beat it in hardware sales and I think it's because there is less overlap in appeal in GBA system sellers compared to 3DS system sellers. In spite of 3DS having more to work with (3D Mario, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Luigi's Mansion, other simulation games and not mention strong 3rd party titles such as Monster Hunter or Yokai Watch) than the GBA did it is becoming increasingly clearer that the average Nintendo customer's taste in games is becoming far more entangled than it ever was before and it's partially the reason why the WII U failed to reach the general consumer even when Nintendo had released 6 out of their 8 core franchises ... 

Most Nintendo's first entry on the Switch with their flagship franchises will sell better than their first entries with the 3DS did yet both will end up having similar hardware numbers by the end of this year ... 

This overlap could end up being the Switch's undoing as Nintendo's games keep appealing to more of their established userbase than not ... 

PS4 3rd week in a row over 1m, 2 more weeks! Great sales for all

I feel the same.

no point in discussing this anymore. with time ill get back to you, and ill rub it in your face that was right. if i'm wrong ill happily eat crow and you guys can shame or what ever i'm very confident in what will happen.

like i predicted 2:1 over switch last month, and got # 1 prediction on resetera. when i mean falling of cliff i meant compared to people expectations . My wording was wrong so you guys can stop saying falling off cliff, i meant flat.

This argument (if you can even call it that) between CGI and quickrick is more entertaining than any sales thread I've seen so far.

Ooooo! I want to get behind the velvet rope. Please feel free to PM me all the juicy details. We can start with basic stuff. Like this post. Why did you bold "familiar" but not "ity"? So many questions.

This year will be the first time a console has sold over 20m since the DS in 2010. Now the WiiU has been cut down and replaced by the Switch the industry is starting to look very healthy again.
