What I wrote about Diablo 3 is a fact, so I dont see how you can or dont agree with that. Same goes for point that Nintendo is different than other Nintendo platforms, also fact (point that we talking about unifed platform and hybrid alone proves that). I didnt said that Switch has better software this year than had last year, but that next year will have better than it did this year (just from currently confirmed games for next year that obvious). Again, you ignoring fact that when comes to support, Nintendo is in much better situation compared to previous platforms because Switch is their only active platform that will have full and undivided support from them, also fact that we are in generation where mid gen upgrades and revisions have quite effect on sales in later years of platforms. I said price cut next year, not this one, next year Switch will enter in its 3rd year on market offcourse it will have some kind of price cut with most certain revision.

Fair enough.

I just want to add two things to become clear...

1.- The only fact that i'm seeing here is that I don't agree in your use of "fact" at all....XD

2.-    When i said "this year" I meant 2019, sorry my fault, i was thinking already in next year.

But ey, like I said, I know your opinion, you know mine, the cards are on the table. Let's wait now and see what happens around March to keep going with this discussion

1. But you cant realy not agree with facts, and what I wrote about those matters are facts: again, fact is that Diablo 3 is very intresting game because handheld mode and that some people buying Switch primary just to play that game, also fact is that Diablo 3 is huge game. And fact is that Switch is very different compared to previous Nintendo platforms, unified platform thats in same time home console and handheld proves that, same like fact that Nintendo planing Switch to have longer life span compared to past platforms.

2. But 2019. already with just confirmed games (Pokemon Gen 8, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Lugis Mansion 3, Yoshi, Deamon X Machina, Town, NSMBU DX) look stronger than 2018. and offcourse thats not even hole 2019. lineup, we are still in 2018. and Nintendo most games announcing less than 6 months before launch. Next year Switch will enter in its 3rd year on market offcourse it will have some kind of price cut with most certain revision, remember, Nintendo said they ultimate goal with Switch is that "to be sell like device per person instead of device per house but that price point is still not there", so of course that Switch will have price cuts in any case.

I think you're referring to this post. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8716463

Switch (2018) wouldn't win one NPD against Wii (2008) is what he meant. Which is right so far.

Edit: Oh well, nevermind.

And itll be a close finish between the two end of year. Both will be very close. Its anyones win at this point

A lot of people saw that coming. Quite a few on here  thought that this would be the ps4s peak year.

i been right on many thing like amazon, ps4 beating switch this year, switch selling less in 2018 vs 2017 in the second quarter, predicting tool not being reliable, but i only get called out on the wrong things by the haters, i wonder why.

You're persistent huh?...XDD. Let'see.....the moment you "expect", "plan", "want", etc something or say it's "interesting", "huge", "different" that thing don't become a fact, period. You and me can expect the next 3D Mario to be a success because..., well everyone until now has been a success, but that doesn't make it a "fact". Fact is something that already happened, fact is not a opinion. I played Diablo 2 and 3 at launch at their time on PC and no, console versions didn't come close to the impact that game had on PC and that is.......still an opinion, not a fact.

I don't see anything in that 2019 list that makes it better than 2017 or 2018. 2018 had first new Pokemon on the console, Smash Bros, Mario Party, Kirby, Mario Tennis, Octopath Traveler, DLCs of successful games of 2017, ports from WiiU like Bayonetta 2 and DKC Tropical Freeze. To me 2018 is just similar....and similar after 3 years means that most probably sales will be flat or less. That quote from Nintendo....doesn't prove anything, Nintendo did not make any discount this holiday in USA all year and it won't make anyone in 2019 because selling the console at 300$ selling like 17-18M consoles a year, is way better than selling the console 19-20M at 250€. Nintendo is going for profits, and it's the correct way (my opinion of course...XD).

But please..., i understand what you mean with Diablo III and Switch in 2019....,it's just that i don't agree with you..., that's all, XD. We only can wait to see who is right.
