Sony have 3 out the 5 best selling consoles of all time, the best selling console of all time and PS4 is going to hit 120m+, something the Switch can only dream of.

PS5 will sell a number that Nintendo wishes SW2 can achieve.

Ha ha ha ha ha! You hilarious. I wish i had your crystal ball to predict sales of a console that's still in conception stage, let alone announced!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

High chance of this being a heavily quoted post in let's say three years or so from now.

I have a fair few Switch sales quotes bookmarked at this point, some of which are already hilarious. People insist on downplaying and underestimating it, whether intentionally or not.

I have src's post logged among them.

I have a hunch that the OP didn't actually want to have a discussion on this topic and just wanted to see people agree that Nintendo is better...

On topic: I see both platforms doing exceptionally well. Both should finish around 130 million units sold.

Or maybe they just wanted to have a laugh about sony fanboys making wild predictions that are not rooted in reality and make no sense like our pal src here. I mean no one would've been talking this much if src posts weren't here

What is the regional breakdown for 80-90m?

What will Switch final sales be and please give regional breakdown.

No, I doubt PS5 will sell as much as PS1.  Meanwhile Switch will become the best selling system yet.

Switch will outsell the PS2 at 162m? Please give me a regional breakdown.

Slownenberg said:

I think the PS5 will end up right around PS4 due to it having a lot more competition. But I don't think it has any chance at Switch. PS4 ~125 million, PS5 115-130 million, Switch 140-145 million.

Switch will sell 140-145m? Please give me a regional breakdown.

Some crazy predictions in here for sure, I had to quote the MVPs for clarification.

There is nothing more delusional than a Nintendo fanboy.

I had for a long time a bet in my sig with not one but two guys who claimed, PS3 would catch Wii lifetime. And they didn't take the bet early in the generation, we made the bet around the launch of the PS4. Probably there are delusional people in all fandoms, but it really is hard to beat that level of delusion.

Then we had this guy here, who claimed Switch would magically stop selling somehow, fall off a cliff so to speak.

Oh, I see you also are a fan of cliff theories. LOL. And claiming Nintendo fandom is the most delusional. I see you are a joker.

I don't just see Switch becoming the best-selling system yet, but at least you don't claim Switch will end up with 105-110M.

So you're predicting about 2m Switch sold until the end of this year?
