I guess, it just didnt come off that way to me.

But ya regardless PS4 & NSW will both do great this year, XBO will possibly have its best year and 3DS will do good considering its age and support.

Should be an all around good year for the console market.

Yep, perhaps it will reignite the sales discussion on the site with the 3 doing good.

Hopefully, but this sites tracking isnt the best. I appreciate the hard work they put into it but results are either accurate and over a month behind or on time and very innacurate. It seems like its been a very long time since we got up to date numbers that were consistently accurate.

Considering there isn't any other site doing a good job on being timely and accurate, I guess VGC is the best.

And with discussion increasing the numbers shall become more timely.

PS4 is already ubiquitous and NSW has still Smash and Pokemon on it's lineup. I guess we can say that NSW has everything to take the #1 in the next 12 months.

Sony rolling out PS5 before 2020 doesn't look so bonkers now.

Just out of curiosity.....are you saying that the NSW will take #1 in NPD for the next 12 months straight?

No and "will" is too strong. I'm not saying it will. I'm saying that PS4 has passed 80M, after this point, finding new buyers gets a bit challenging. On the other hand Nintendo has just started and has many big hits to come. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if NSW could take #1 on weekly sales worldwide for a at least a reasonable number of weeks from now and next year.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

Well his comment never mentioned NPD.

Also i think he means collectively, not weekly/monthly.

I mean weekly, on worldwide sales chart. But as I said on my last post, I'm just saying that Nintendo may took the place for some time, because selling PS4 after 80m will be more and more challenging for Sony. That's why they're already thinking about PS5.

So that by itself already invalidates the perception that 0D0 was saying and TheBlackNaruto was questioning.

And yep, I guess PS4 and Switch will have close sales this year and probably Switch will be ahead 2019.

How? ODO said nothing about dominating, he just said take #1 over the next 12 months.

And ya this year should be a fun little battle between the two.

Yes, exactly. I'm not predicting domination nor saying that NSW will definitely beat Sony.

Oh so you think he is saying in general. Okay gotcha interesting. I am not even sure why I put NPD lol. I know I was thinking WW when I typed that comment but wrote NPD smh.

So he must be going in line with Nintendo and their Fiscal year prediction then I am assuming.

I'm in line of the challenging of selling a console that has already sold 80m versus a Nintendo console that has still Pokemon, Smash, Fire Emblem and others to come out.

Yes, but I'm still not sure. I'm just saying that Nintendo has a good chance in their hands now.

If we consider Sony and Nintendo forecasts for 2018, Nintendo should sell more.

Oh well that is easy lol. It definitely should take number one a nice number of weeks between now and next year lol. I thought you were making a bold prediction there lol.
