LethalP said: PS4 might sell 19-20 million this year, maybe more. But it's probable that it starts to slow down in 2019 beyond. The Switch on the other hand has only started out, and has many years left. There are those who already think Switch will outsell PS4 this year but assuming it doesn't, I myself think this is the last 18+ million selling year for PS4. Do you think Switch will take the reigns as sales king in 2019 and going forward? |
It's not even sure that the PS4 will outsell the Switch this year. Sure, PS4 is in front for now but a) it's tracking well below last year's sales despite the release of such great sellers like God of War and Monster Hunter World, so it will most likely not sell as well as you might expect and b) Switch had a rocky start this year with barely any high profile releases, but starting with Mario Tennis Aces the bigger releases are coming in for the second half of the year and culminating in a Smash and Pokémon 1-2 punch and possibly a great black Friday deal for the holiday season.
With both Smash and Pokémon in this holiday season this holiday season will belong to Nintendo. Sony needs to build up a sizeable advantage in sales to fend off the assault from Nintendo, even with a probable pricecut for the PS4 in the meanwhile.
