Calm down. 2019 got way stronger from september onwards and had almost equal to 2021 last 4 months. 3rd or 6th year doesn't really matter, there are many anomalies with so much different consoles and sales paths or particular years between them. 2022 will finish around 2019 total in the 18-20M range, and next year will most likely be lower than 2018' 16.4M. The same goes for the japan sales as well. Around 4-4.5M this year, and probably 3M next year. |
I'm quite calm.
It is unusual for a console's 6th year to be bigger than its 3rd year, I was merely remarking on this.
And 2022 is also looking to have a strong third trimester, at least given what we know at present.

Yes but you are repeating yourself almost every week. The 2022 first half is on a little better level than 2019 first half (the 2022 is comng of of peak levels 2020, 2021 and 2019 was coming of of 2017 and 2018 sales levels) everyone sees and knows this. There is no need to be remainded every week. As for the years, yes but also the Switch entire lifecycle and sales pattern are unusual. And also no, it's 6th year won't be bigger than it's 3rd at the end. But yeah. Switch just peaked a little bit later than normal, that's why it is the way it is. |
The last time I pointed this out it was in global sales, this week I simply noticed and pointed out the percentage to which it was tracking in Japan as of today's numbers. It was an update.
I actually do have some memory problems, so if I repeat myself it's not intentional.
As for your claim the 6th year will finish behind its third, are you referring to in Japan, globally, or both? Cos as far as Japan goes, the subject of this thread, it is currently in the lead by nearly 800k (2.41 million vs 1.66 million) and barring some new factor we don't know about yet, it seems unlikely it will lose all of that in the next 5 months that include both Splatoon 3 and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.

We have Splatoon and Pokémon this year vs. Mario Party Superstars, Metroid Dread and Switch OLED model last year.
I expect that September '22 will be ahead of 2021 but will fall back in October due to the OLED model launch.

Smaller, more compact, stylish, and easily available (specifically the series S) while offering most of the same games PlayStation offers. It’s possible Japan gamers are opening their options to Xbox. |

You talk as if you know what you're talking about, yet you don't. Last summer you claimed that Switch WW would fall to Xbox series level sales very soon. How did that work out?
The Switch is way clear of 2019 atm and the gap is likely to get bigger! Also, Splatoon 3 and pokemon are coming this year. I would suggest your prediction is based more off wishful thinking than any real logic.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
So, the next big game for Playstation 5 should be Final Fantasy XVI next summer.
I can see it doing good in software sales, but the impact on hardware will depend if Sony has some strategy for the japanese market. We are still on stock issues.
