PS4 still decreasing, sad.

Well, it's 4 months away from replacement, these are still good numbers under the circumstances.

I know, and still only 100 USD less than launch price while seems like there is shortages worldwide, but it is still sad.

yes AC

Wow we're still seeing huge bumps from it? Didn't think the boost would last so long, lol

It's because of Clubhouse Games obviously

Ah of course, how could I forget?!

I think a lot of the boost is coming from Switch being in short supply in many places.  Whenever new systems get shipped then they all sell out.  True demand for Switch is actually higher than what we are seeing each week.

Also, Ring Fit Adventure. That game has crazy legs



It's almost scary to think what Ring Fit's (And Switch's for that matter) sales would look like right now if supply constraints were removed from the equation entirely.



Well the Switch and Ring Fit Adventure got a restock in the UK yesterday and shockingly today there are still nearly 300 consoles left to buy.
Of course it'll be sold out by the end of the day.
On top of that, only one website still has Ring Fit Adventure stock.
This has mostly been the same situation every week, since November 2019 and it should stay the same until October or later.

PS4 is down to 51% market share, I wonder if it will drop below 50% before next gen arrives.

There was a thread made that PS4 would maintain above 50% market share against XBox One + Switch combined until the end of the generation. I cannot remember the year that thread came out but of course it appeared at a time when PS4 seemed invincible.



NS is unstoppable! Hybrid is the key to sell well in every season.
PS4 good, but suffering as expected in a season when people stays more outside.

I wouldn't say PS4 is "suffering", I mean it's numbers need to be viewed in context. It is a system on the verge of replacement after more than six years on the market.

Yes, I meant "suffering" in the peculiar context of PS4, selling less than in the past, but also being in one of the periods of the year when home consoles sell less, but that in PS4 case means numbers that most competitors sell in far better periods.
PS4 "suffering" numbers would be welcome by any other recent console except NS.
