Don't know where I read it, but switch is not cannibalizing PS4 sales, they can both co-exist

Poor PS4 and xb1. They need a price cut if they want to stay competitive with the switch. I honestly feel until they do, Nintendo will win every NPD for the foreseeable future. Sony already proved it can win NPD with a $199 PS4 as evidenced during November. But at $299 going into its 5th year, it’s setting into a firm 2nd to 3rd position for monthly console sales.

Now that February is mostly barren of big game releases on PS4, this month should see switch winning by a significant higher margin. Take note, switch won January with no new games at all. PS4 had dbz and monster hunter and still lost.

But Sony can still reverse all of it by lowering the price and get right back in this. Until then, this is a switch train and we’re all in for the ride!

There is no denying switch is beasting on amazon right now, but i'll bet anything you want, switch won't take February.  Before you take the bet, xbox had plenty of amazing deal this month.

I don't get it really, Why would they cut the price if PS4 is still selling great? They don't need to win NPD, they need to be profitable. They already have a very big and active install base. I think Sony will only cut the price in the holidays.

It doesn't matter if Switch ships 20m+ this year and 30m the next, PS4 is still doing great. 

Of course it is. I’m not saying it’s not. But before switch, PS4 was winning most months. Now it’s switch. And lots of ppl on here were doubting switch or saying it won’t last. Maybe they’re right, maybe they’re not. But so far, switch is serving crow to a few here. :)

Ah, ok. I believe Switch is here to stay too. I mean, it's been basically a full year now, and we're past the holidays and it's still doing well worldwide. I mean, even Nintendo predicted 2.9m shipped this quarter (Jan/Feb/Mar), and they're pretty pessimistic when it comes to predicting Switch shipments.

But Sony doesn't need to cut the price right now, cause regardless of taking NPD or not, PS4 will keep doing great.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
