Switch will win and sell over 20m units. 2018 didn't go as planned for Nintendo: Labo didn't do as well as they expected, Pokémon was a bit underwhelming sales-wise and the first half of the year relied on ports a lot. Also, the Switch is still very expensive for the handheld portion of the market and 2019 should see the first price drop for the system with the 3DS slowly being faded out and software support focused evermore on Switch. The Switch has the potential to sell 25m units but only if the line-up is very strong and they drop the price of the system.

Sony on the other hand will be focused on PS5 development and probably have a slightly weaker line-up this year. I'll just guess and say the PS4 will do 15m this year. Still great numbers but PS5 is more important at this point.

12M ps4.

I think the Switch will sell more consistently this year, instead of being so loaded during the holidays. And it has more room to grow compared to PS4.

So, I think Switch wins by at least 3 million.

Yeah, I think the Switch will outsell the ps4 but 2:1? No chance. Even if the ps4 drops to 15 million, the Switch would have to sell 30. Twice the amount that it managed in 2018.

I think Switch can sell about 25m in 2019, assuming they are able to manufacture and ship that much. Not sure how many the PS4 will sell though. I think Switch will be above PS4 by at least 10m though. So Switch by 10-15m.

That's ridiculous

My prediction isn't breaking any "all time" records.  I don't see why you'd call it ridiculous.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Alright who voted the PS4 will sell more? I wanna know how in the world they can still think that. But my estimates are switch by around 4-8mil, the range is so large because I have no idea how hard PS4 falls or what comes for the switch. Switch is 20mil+ for the year easy but PS4 might sell 15mil+ again so I have no idea.
By the way what was the number for the peak year of PS4? I think switch can beat that this year

20.2 million in 2017.

I also think the Switch can beat that number this year, especially if there's a hardware revision.

Yeah easily even. I have hopes that switch can sell more in the early years but of course PS4 will have more legs. I hope both reach 120mil and nextbox does much better because I want the market to be healthy and thriving for all gamers' sake

I voted that PS4 will win by under 5 million, I don't see what others see, Switch will sell 20 million units this year?

Nintendo has no cards left except a switch handheld only for 200$ and that won't release this year. I suspect 2018 was peak year for switch and for 2019 it will sell 14 million units.

For PS4 I expect 14-15 million units as I don't think Sony will release another super slim version of PS4 and do no price-cuts.

If I had to make a prediction this early for 2019, I'd say:

NSW: 21-22M
PS4: 13-14M

So, the Switch wins by 8M, plus or minus a million.

Almost exactly my prediction, I have Switch 20-24M and PS4 13-15M

30 million for switch this year.

Mainline Pokémon, Animal Crossing and a revision.

That’s enough for that.

Pokemon? Animal crossing? Luigi Mainsion? Mario? Fire Emblem? Yeah you are already wrong.
