Forums - Sales Discussion - [Update: Switch Won] Switch, PS5 and Series X/S - What 9th gen console will sell most this Holiday?

 

Which 9th gen system will sell the most this Holiday?

Switch 102 67.11%
 
PS5 44 28.95%
 
Series X/S 6 3.95%
 
Total:152

After crunching some numbers, I have some further proof/explanation as to why I think switch and Ps5 will be the frontrunners:



I think this chart speaks for itself

Xsx hands down. It’s more powerful than the ps5 but same price. Game pass is a megaton especially with Bethesda acquisition. From twitter and other social media platforms Sony is losing mindshare and the old arrogant Sony is back. I mean a less powerful console priced the same as the beast XSX? It’s a no brainier really.

Have you just not been paying any attention the last 6 months? What in the world makes you think Xbox will win this holiday season? Is it the fact that they're coming off an anemic last few years of no exclusives and thus have to have all their exclusives primed for launch? Is it that Halo Infinite is....delayed and not coming to the console at launch and no other exclusives are, either? Is it the backwards compatibility that everyone seems to love but has not exactly got a history of pushing consoles? Is it the Gamepass that, once again everyone seems to love but doesn't seem to push consoles? Is it the fact that the strongest console rarely if ever has the sales advantage in the past so it MUST make a difference this time? Is it the fact that Xbox Series X has very little hype outside pockets of Xbox Diehards and that PS5 clearly has been breaking all manner of records and getting all the coverage, somehow proving that Sony's good press is just fake news and the reality is that Xbox clearly has more hype? 

Or the fact that new consoles (PS5/XSX) never outsell incumbent Consoles (Switch) Especially in the midst of a potentially record-setting run in the middle of its life cycle and thus since it's never happened before the world must bend over backwards to make it happen for the XSX? 

Switch is winning this quarter. anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. PS5 will also sell-out, but with a 10-11 million consoles being manufactured between now and March 2021...well, Switch will handily best that number. Both will do well, Xbox will also do well, but if you think they come out on top against two far stronger brands with loads more momentum, you clearly haven't been paying attention.

Xbox will win this holiday for a number of reasons. MS buying Bethesda has shown a lot of people that they are in this for the long haul, that they are committed to GAMING first. More rumors are floating around of MS investing and buying even more studios. All those games from bethesda again... DAY ONE on game pass as well as their other first party titles. They have a decent amount of console  launch exclusives too, pretty much equal to what PS5 has going on for this Holiday. A lot of those games are also coming to PS4. Backwards comp is also going to be a huge deal. All my friends who I talk to all say they are really excited for the Series X too and that they can go back and play older games. Did you see the new news coming out about how Xbox is getting all these boosted BC games, double the frame rate as well. Game pass is the biggest thing I feel you are overlooking. I know a huge PS fan who is now switching to Xbox just because of game pass, you see it all over the web about people changing consoles from PS to xbox BECAUSE of game pass; reddit youtube, you name it. It really is the greatest deal in gaming. Actually game pass ultimate is even better. And again, with MS buying more and investing more into first party, putting those games on game pass DAY ONE is a HUGE deal going forward. Let's not forget the 70 price tags that are going to be a norm, another HUGE plus for MS. It makes PS not look so good when you compare 70 games to MS' much cheaper alternative. Plus this year alone has been very good for MS first party. Probably their highest meta overall and it will only get better. Having Halo being delayed has shown us that MS is willing to delays games for the sake of quality. Also Sony's messaging this gen so far has been very sketchy. Lying about generations, and having a ton of their games on PS4 as well. For example the conference where they showed Demon Souls. It said that Demon souls is coming to PC, but then afterwards, they back tracked and said it was PS5 only... Now who is going to believe that. If God of War comes out next year I can see that being another cross gen game. If Horizon is cross gen why not God of War. Hell what about Ratchet and Clank? I'm just waiting for that to be announced for PS4 too.  It truly feels like 2013, BUT the roles have been completely reversed. Plus how fast Xbox has sold out, as well as the rumors of PS having supply issues. Another big thing is Xbox Series S being at 299, which will be a huge game changer come this Holiday season. Having the most powerful console, as well as the most affordable? HUGE!! Coupled with the positive press MS has been getting, for being honest and open about cross gen, the best deal in gaming with game pass, investing 7.5 billion in Bethesda, as well as rumored to buy more. Xbox is set to succeed, Phil has brought Xbox to new heights. MS I can see is definitely winning back US overall as well. But in terms of holiday? Xbox will outsell PS and overall, be the best selling as well.

A lot of what you told me seems to indicate to xbox doing good in the future, but not better than ps5 at launch.

Jeez, can I go back to chatting with Sales2099? He may have been just as hilariously disconnected from reality as you are but at least he knew how to format a forum post.

I've already explained in great detail and so repeatedly I got banned from the Microsoft forum why everything you just said is faith and conjecture, not anything based on past history or any sort of momentum. There's a good chance at least some of that paying off in the end, but absolutely nothing about it indicates Microsoft has even a turd's chance in a rainstorm of beating Nintendo or Sony this year. They just don't have the momentum, the exclusives, or the brand loyalty right now for that. 

And the fact that you have 7 'agrees' on a post that lacks any structure and is just one Microsoft marketing point after another shows that there's a hilarious bias towards Xbox on this forum that just isn't backed by reality. One really hardcore fanbase upvoting everything positive of Xbox regardless of the reality of the situation.

I talked about past history, did you not read what I said? 

They went from less than 10 studios in 2017 to 23 in 2020 that's not faith, that is facts, and it's clear they have the momentum.

I just don't think you see it.

You're not explaining anything here, it's not my fault you got banned from MS discussion.

I'll give you an upvote if it makes you feel more validated though. 

Also formatted it, so you can understand. 

Hope that helps.

Is your enter key broken?  That blog of text is actually larger than Marvel's Blob.

I'm also fascinated by the 7 upvotes. Do you think they are upvoting the size of it? Reading the first sentence then just upvoting it? or did 7 people actually just read War and Peace from beginning to end and then upvote it?

Yeah my enter key wasn't working my bad :/ 

I signed in to my 3 alts and up-voted it, the rest are probably doing it unironically.

I read all that was there and knew the individuals who would be triggered by it.  The amount of consoles sold by PS5 and Xbox Series will be determined by the amount of available inventory for each.  Both will sell out it just depends on how much there is.  Who has more of the product available?  I don't know, you don't know and he doesn't know, but that doesn't mean he doesn't bring up excellent points.

He did leave out that multi-plats will look and perform better on the Xbox Series X.  Some gamers do purchase their device on which one is going to give them the best version of COD, Battlefield, Football, Soccer, Baseball, or whatever their favorite 3rd parties are.  At the same price point you could buy the stronger Series X or the weaker PS5.  PS4 had the most powerful console for 4 years and it was a selling point.  By the time One X came out it was too late in the generation to have a major turn around.

I personally think it's going to be a couple of years before the big hitters come out for either console.  Sony has a global edge, period.  Sony has to fuck up a lot to lose market share, but Microsoft is doing a lot of positives to gain some.

Makes sense. Although they are definitely doing it ironically. I mean it is sitting at 9 for a  one-paragraph long rant. One that you were so enthused with that you thought submitting it was more important than figuring out what happened to your enter bar.  Were you cackling while typing that out? I can easily image you crouched over your keyboard cackling with lightning in the background as you pounded out Moby Dick.

Hell I'm tempted to upvote it.  Infact I'm going too. Wonder how high it can get.

I upvoted it too, for the lulz. How is he allowed to have alts, though? Isn't that against the rules?

I thought we were allowed to have three.

Got bored. Calculated how many exclusives the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One had between the Switch's launch in 2017 and now, right before the next generation consoles come out. These numbers are ever so slightly skewed, as some PS4 exclusives such as FFXII the Zodiac Age and Nier automata ended up coming out on Xbox/Switch, but the same can be said for Ori and Cuphead coming out on Switch/PS4. These numbers are totals for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Here were the rules I used, fair and equal across the board:

1 - The games needed to be console or brand exclusive. PC or handheld ports didn't disqualify them.
2 - The games needed to have 20 reviews on GameRankings or Metacritic.
3 - The games needed to have a 75 or higher to be considered.
4 - The games were only considered for that year. Not disqualified if on another console later years.

And the final tallies for games with 75+ scores between 2017 and today were:

PS4 - 60 games total
Switch - 50 games total
XBO - 6 games total

No, this is not me taking the piss. This is me actively trying to twist things to give Xbox a fighting chance (not disqualifying PC games, keeping it on even if it later came to other consoles, etc), but doing that for them helped the others even more. The moral of the story is: This is why I'm so critical of Xbox. Y'all can talk all you want about future potential, but Sony and Nintendo are the ones going into holiday 2020 with all the momentum. And keep in mind, Sony has a handful more games coming out on PS5 that are likely to reach that threshold of 75+ scores and 20+ reviews, as well as handful on Switch before year's end. This is just between 2017 and today.

So could someone tell me why they STILL have faith in Microsoft? One year is a slipup. 2 years is a bad time. 3 years is worrying. 4 years is a clearly defined market trend. Microsoft has been a distant third for exclusives for a decade now. This is non-negotiable.

Can't wait for someone to report me for bringing charts to a video game charts site because it's not flattering.
