The switch is still capable against a ps4, but the ps5 will be at least 10x more powerful than a switch. PS5 will also be backwards compatible, switch isn't.

But this talk is pointless, even if the switch hits wii numbers, it still wont outsell the ps4 which will end up at 150 million. Or are you telling me the switch will sell 70 million in the next 2-3 years? I'm sure Nintendo will release a switch2 in 2-3 years.

The ps4 will have a price drop when the ps5 launches, by then ps4 will be already 115 million sold, the switch will be 60 million, switch sales will start to slow down, and so will ps4, next gen consoles will start to be the top sellers.

There is no way Nintendo could outsell the ps4, unless

1 - they drop the price of consoles

2 - they do some sales on their older games

3 - they don't release a next gen switch for at least 4 years

4 - Even if all that becomes true, its still far fetched to think it could outsell a ps4. In the end even the 3ds didn't outsell the ps3 or 360, Nintendo portables do really well in the first few years but then sales drop fast.

Seriously, only 17M this year? Care to explain why? After all, it's selling quite a bit better than last year already and that one had both the leftover from Smash/PLG from the year before and NSMBUD early that year. And the lead will only grow once AC will release.

If you want to tell because no games announced yet, do remember that by this point in 2018, Smash wasn't even known yet. Same is certainly true for this year.

Nintendo is not keeping the switch for another 5 years, I am 100% certain they will release a new console before then. They never had a console going for 8 years without a successor. Sales will drop fast, just like 3ds, no way the switch would be selling 13 million in 2025, no way, most people who wanted one already have it, unless they would be sold at 120 dollars in 2025.

You expect the ps4 to sell 6 million until next year? I don't know what drugs are you on, but there will be a price drop, games price drops and a thing called Christmas and blackfriday, the ps4 will sell minimum 10 million until next February, easily. And minimum 5million the year after, because of the low prices, there are a lot of poor people who cant afford 450dollars consoles + 60-70 dollars games. I know of people still using a ps3 and still waiting on the ps4 to reach 150dollars with games.

At current pace the ps4 would sell 7 million, but its a slow month, when last of us 2 releases, the ps4 sales will more than double, and then on black Friday with price drop it will triple. 7 million would be the absolute minimum sales possible, there's less than 10% chance of them selling only 7 million. Maybe if sony released the ps5 at 399dollars which is impossible, as the ssd alone costs more than 100 dollars.

Come back to me when its proven that I'm right yet again.

It won't matter if PS5 is x10 or even x30 more powerful than the Switch. People don't buy the Switch for graphics, they buy it cos its the only way to play Pokemon/Smash/etc and is now the only option for dedicated gaming on the go. PS5 doesn't supplant that, so it won't affect Switch sales.

And assuming Switch will adhere to the trends of past Nintendo systems is also a mistake as it is quite unlike any of them.

Show me where I said Switch will outsell PS4.

Wow, it seems I triggered all the nintendo fanbase here.

Dont worry guys, you will survive if someone here doesn't agree with you with a stupid Nintendo prediction...

And I dont give a shit if you dont agree with me anymore. If I am wrong all the nintendo fans will be coming at me and if I am right there will be silence and lack of any kind of recognition. There is no point in wasting any time on this...

It was a mistake, like always, posting in a Nintendo thread.

I think I am starting to not getting any fun in this forum. I'm pretty sure I will be right in what I am saying and that's it. Feel free to disagree all you want. Keep living in your own bubble forever.

I think I'm going to abandon this site forever. Not worth the effort. I wonder how those permanent bans work...

Please, dont waste any effort answering this comment, because there wont be any more replies.

This is a weird post, nobody in this thread has been mean or attacked you and the discussion has been pretty civil so I'm not sure what makes you think anyone is triggered.

You are the one getting upset at people for disagreeing with you while generalizing everyone that does as a triggered Nintendo fan and threatening to leave because of it.

If you wish to leave, that is entirely on you. You posted predictions that lacked any logic and people (me included) called you out on that. You've been playing the victim while throwing petty insults at the nintendo fanbase ever since. Do expect to be quoted again because of that even if you ask people not to.

I don't think it will pass PS4, as it is still going pretty strong.

I do think it's laughable when I see comments that think it's highly unlikely it will pass the Wii though... Why do people keep expecting sales to just "drop off a cliff" for the Switch? If anything, being the first hybrid, it has the best chance to have the longest life in terms of software support.

If you expect a sales curve similar to the 3DS you will arrive at below the Wii.

Launch Aligned (December 2019) - Switch (48.8m), 3DS (39.7m)

3DS was over halfway through it's total sales at this point, keeping the Switch at the same percentage higher would bring the total to this:

Switch (92.3m), 3DS (75.1m)

But thinking the sales difference will remain proportionally the same is a mistake, Switch's later years will be much better. Beating the Wii is basically a certainty imo.

Well the same thing happens with every fanbase soooooo......
