Europe has been the reason why PS4 has been selling more than Switch for weeks this year. It is the difference maker. Take it out or make the PS4 numbers equal with Switch and Switch would be outselling it every week. See how bad that argument is now? |
Nope. Turn your thinking about and you'll see the answer.
By the end of the year, switch will beat ps4 by a million or 2 which is nothing special considering the popularity and portability factors of switch and the age of ps4.

That would be true if everything stays at the current speed.
But while Switch should accelerate during Summer and boost in Fall with all the announced game releases during that period, and then go into overdrive during the holiday season with Pokemon and probably Animal Crossing this year, PS4 will mostly slowly slide down in sales, even with a 50$ pricecut, and just boost a lot for Black Friday.
In the end, the difference should be more around 5M, if not even more than that.

Only Cyberpunk could exponentially increase PS4 sales like RDR2 did. Even with TLOU2, DS and GOT all releasing in 2019 it's hard to believe that it will put a fight to the Switch unless there is a PS4 Pro price cut.
PS4 winning by the slimmest of margins...

I still think the PS4 can pull off a 16m+ year in 2019.
So the only way the Switch wins by over 5m+ lead, is if the Switch ends up doing like ~21m this year (imo).
It *could* happend, but Im not sure switch is gonna hit something like that, so its win this year, will very likely be much less than 5m.

It would sell way more with a price cut . I still believe ps4 will be behind switch by 2 million at best. |

Remove 10-15k from this weeks sales then, as it's heavily discounted in Japan. And yet the PS4 still only reaches 32k with big releases (Division 2, One Piece World seeker, second week of DMC 5)
In other words, a pricecut would certainly help, but not to the extent you think.

Ugh, those silly Europeans always have to ruin everything

Just stating the obvious that this is more impressive for PS4 with how old it is. |
Same can be said for Europe. In fact, the difference is even bigger in Europe, and you could argue it's the anomaly since in America Switch sells better as well.
