Well, of course you win all of your bets, you made a claim that the PS4 would outsell the Switch by 80k+ but then you refused to bet on it. |
yea i thought it would, but i only make bets when i'm really confident, that i wasn't.

Basically shows that Switch is down this quarter compared to last year's quarter in the US ... (~860K vs >900K)
If we just compare just US + Japan in total then it's ~1540K vs ~1470K yet VGC's global total shows a massive uptick compared to both quarters ... (~3M vs ~2.33M)
It seems a little suspect that Europe + Others made up nearly HALF of the differential ...

Xbox is 60 USD cheaper then ps4. If it was the same price I think its numbers would be bad. Agreed with ps4. Feels like Sony is keeping it at 300 because it wants all those extra sales mhw and gow have given it to maximise profits. Still big titles coming like detroit, spiderman and rdr2. But how long will Sony hold out for profit. I predict a big permanent drop either at e3 or after all the big games have dropped in November.

Confident enough to bet on LABO then? Or Smash?

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

sure if you combine everything it looks better, but out of 60 predictions, i counted like like 48 votes out of 60 i think, that had switch over by around 800k-1.5 million, to me that is destroying and would basically mean switch has to win almost have to win every npd to achieve this. |
Drawing from a smaller group of numbers will probably give you a vastly different result but it doesn't really matter. Winning the whole year by 1 million still wouldn't be proper dominating the competition over the course of a year.
And as a whole it's 600K so your point doesn't really matter.

it's just what i expect to happen and why, my prediction. As for mario is released the last 2-3 days october, so it should carried into november. they will probably drop the price to 250$ or bundle a game, which i don't expect to offer a huge boost. |
I'm sorry but a month with no deals they sold around 400K more than any other month aside from launch and holidays and your calling that disappointing. Without a price cut it still did amazingly well and had the Switch been £249 in November it very likely would have outsold ps4 & xbox

This is pretty much how every argument with him happens, he makes these exaggerated claims like "Switch will fall off a cliff" or "Smash wont be that big" and many posts later clarifies that he actually meant "Switch will be flat YOY" and "Smash will sell under 12 million". |
And yet the same cast of characters repeatedly turns out to argue with this one person for several pages which I have to scroll through to find anything interesting, all of which will probably keep being brought up in other threads as though it were VGC's personal version of Groundhog Day. Yay.

Well, as long as he's here we're going to have someone to dispute his claims.

For the 20M PS4, maybe.
For only 13M Switches, dream on. Switch is in front already, and for most of the last year Switch numbers where low due to lack of supply. Switch does almost 200k weekly right now despite a drought of high-profile games this winter and spring while back then it was closer to 120-130k

I guess anything is possible no matter how unlikely it is, but switch will get destroyed in november again this year. |
Based on what exactly you saying that!? Main reason why PS4/XB1 sold much better than Switch last November was beacuse they had huge price cut for Black Friday ($100+) while Switch didnt had any bundle. So, for this year we dont know much big price cut any consoles will have and what big November game for Switch will be, so I relly dont see how you can say that "switch will get destroyed in November again this year", again its sounds like wishful thinking than anything else.

It's interesting that PS4 is YOU down for all 1st 3 months while XB1 had two best and one second best first 3 months from launch.
