You can go check for yourself. Or you can just carry on being in denial.

Sure, you’ve been saying the same for like 8 months now, so now I have to believe you? And not Nintendo itself? Really?

The few coming weeks will reveal whether or not retail PS4 stock issues are of any significance, like Amazon is suggesting to be the case.

Switch hardware baseline is FAR lower than I expected it to be. Both Heihachi KiMishima's statement and Amazon point towards a fairly constant Switch availability.

I did not know but it seems to be true - Switch is available in Japan while the PS4 is having stock issues.

Ah Nintendo fans... they don’t even want to believe Amazon...

It didn't take long before the Switch surpassed the PS4 again. Hopefully PS4 doesn't fall below 30k in the next week, I think a baseline of 30-35k would be decent enough.

Well, it is Japan where handhelds rule supreme and consoles don’t do well.

But the PS4 have beaten the Vita.

40k baseline with no major releases isnt amazing but its not really bad either and Switch will pass PS4 by Spring 2019.

How? will the PS4 just stop selling?

Basically what Rol said.

At the end of 2017, Switch sold 3.3 million and PS4 sold 5.9 million.

I expect Switch to sell ~4.5 million & PS4 ~2 million this year.

That would give PS4 at most a lead of a few 100k at the end of the year.

Including Wii U and digital, its probably above LttP sales and could very well become the best selling Zelda in Japan by the end of the year.

It's already there it you include digital and Wii U version. o/

I'm pretty sure it will take the first place eventually.



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
