Aren't you the 'PS4 can still make historic sales' guy? The PS4 has already left this discussion. I'm not sure your knowledge is useful here.

Switch Vs. PS4 Global: Gap change in latest month: 5,006,710 - Switch Gap change over last 12 months: 7,781,437 - Switch Total Lead: 13,658,594 - Switch Switch Total Sales: 76,989,289 PS4 Total Sales: 63,330,695 December 2020 is the 46th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for. During the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Switch by 5.01 million units when compared to the PlayStation 4 during the same timeframe. In the last 12 months, the Switch has outsold the PlayStation 4 by 7.78 million units. The Switch is currently ahead of the PlayStation 4 by 13.66 million units. The PlayStation 4 launched in November 2013, while the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide in March 2017. Therefore, the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup, which is why there are big increases and decreases. The 46th month on sale for the Nintendo Switch is December 2020, while for the PlayStation 4 it is August 2017. The Switch has sold 76.99 million units, while the PlayStation 4 sold 63.33 million units during the same timeframe. The PlayStation 4 did not reach current Switch sales until month 53. The PlayStation 4 has sold 114.83 million units through December 2020. The Nintendo Switch is currently 37.84 million units behind the lifetime sales of the PlayStation 4. |
The first graph says it all really; Switch has kicked on the afterburners and climbed into the stratosphere leaving the PS4 in the dust.
PS4 isn't looking to have long legs post-replacement, so Switch really would need to fall off a cliff not to surpass it in lifetime sales, and the cliff seems incredibly unlikely when it has so much momentum and still the potential for price cuts and further revisions along with big games like BOTW2 and Monster Hunter Rise.

what knowledge ? and what this topic has to the with the PS4 ? Yes I was saying in 2018 that PS4 can reach higher number than is doing right now .. because of sony not doing anything .. however what this has to do with that ? the fact is that Switch is now just 50% of lifetime sales of the DS, and the work is far from done. I am not making any statements, what is yout problem? I can have opinion about everything, in every topic, as it can everyone here. |
You can have your opinions. But if your opinions are going to be that laughably inaccurate, I don't think it's your place to then try and mock other people's projections; especially when the Switch is currently a freight train, almost catching up to the DS launch-aligned-- which will have a steep fall off after these peaks --and likewise already having put the PS4 safely to bed.
So yet again, on another Switch prediction topic, you'd have to desperately cling to Cliff Theory to believe these achievements aren't in the realm of reason already.

Switch Vs. 3DS and Wii U Global: Gap change in latest month: 3,670,962 - Switch Gap change over last 12 months: 16,305,865 – Switch Total Lead: 15,308,668 - Switch Switch Total Sales: 76,989,289 3DS and Wii U Total Sales: 61,680,621 December 2020 is the 46th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for. During the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Switch by 3.67 million units when compared to the combined sales of the 3DS and Wii U during the same timeframe. In the last 12 months, the gap has grown in favor of the Switch by 16.31 million units. The Switch leads by 15.31 million units. The 3DS launched in February 2011 (however, 3DS sales have been aligned to March 2011, since it only launched at the end of February in Japan), the Wii U launched in November 2012, and the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide in March 2017. The holiday periods between the Switch and 3DS lineup, however, the Wii U holiday is offset from the Switch. The 46th month for the Nintendo Switch is December 2020, for the Nintendo 3DS it is December 2014 and for the Wii U it is June 2016. The Switch has sold 76.99 million units, while the 3DS and Wii U have sold 61.68 million units during the same timeframe. The 3DS and Wii U did not reach current Switch sales until month 70. The 3DS and Wii U have sold 89.47 million units lifetime. The Switch is 12.48 million units behind the 3DS and Wii U. |
3DS and Wii U will essentially be a static target from now on, and Switch will outsell them by the end of the year with ease, proving wrong the notion from around 2017 that those two systems represented the maximum potential Nintendo audience.
Also, now that 3DS production has ended, their final number fell short of 90 million.
If Switch is able to match 2020 this year it has a chance to overtake PS4 in USA next December.

Seeing Switch climb almost vertically against even the PS4 is really something.
Imagine telling people back in 2016 this would happen, (almost) nobody would believe you.

Wii just has one more strong holiday left in it, which will align in the next few months. After that, its engine more or less shuts off and it'll be cruising in neutral, while the Switch looks to have a lot more gas in the tank.

Were people here surprised when Nintendo estimated that less than 75 million Nintendo were sold through up until the end of December?

The Switch is currently 2.93 million units behind. The Wii U has been off the market for a few years, while 3DS production has ended, however, the last remaining stock is still being sold. |
With the exception of Switch performing a little better, this comparison seems to pretty closely mirror the worldwide trend. Switch should overtake sometime around the middle of the year.
