While I am not a fan of the rather soft H1s of Nintendo and I wish they would spread out their releases more I can't blame them for their strategy considering it worked out so far. Maybe they just don't care about H1 when the majority of their sales happen in the 2nd half of the year anyways.
I'm curious if the overall high end console market has increased or declined
OP
OP
it's been doing consistently well for a long time. this game hits on a number of "in-vogue" gameplay styles
At that point it would've been in the range of 170-185m. No one exactly knows because we never got real numbers in the end.
While the PS4 is up a ton over the PS3, it doesn't make up for ground lost on the Xbox 1 from 360.
Yeah I honestly can't see them breaching even close to top ten on Switch ever in the life time of the console.
After 6 years (Nov 2013-Dec 2019), PS4 is at 108.9m
After 7 years (Nov 2006-Nov 2013), PS3 was at 80m
I have no data for 360/One
Yea I got years mixed up, anyway I wonder what the comparison is combined same time frame

About what? Their one half-assed legacy port not selling well on Switch?
That is way too high. X360 passed 80 million by late october of 2013 (PS3 around the same time) so by early 2013 combined total for X360/PS3 was probably somewhere between 150-155 million.
It's always annoying when third-parties put off half-ass ports and when it doesn't sell uses that as justification that their games don't sell on Nintendo's systems.
Then again, they probably looked at Capcom and figured that they can do the same thing and get paid.
After 6 years (Nov 2006-Nov 2012), PS3 was at 70m
So compared to 108.2m PS4 in the same time frame
Yeah, I mean if their strategy is just to focus on other platforms and make as much money as they can there, then fine, just say that. Don't say your stuff doesn't sell when you barely put anything noteworthy out anyway. The Sims being the most ludicrous example they picked.
No competition but I'm not complaining congrats Bamco and CC2. It's a great DBZ game, my favorite story mode since the first Budokai.
Shame that Switch is down YoY. But hopefully it can make it up with Animal Crossing. It's behaving like a normal Nintendo system outside of Japan it would seem.
It's funny how Microsoft found success late last gen with the casual Kinect but this time around they are finding it in the hardcore elite controller.

Ah yeah but without One data, it's hard to know exactly
But I wanted to share PS3/PS4 numbers to give you an idea
also keep in mind that the ps3/360 were competing against the Wii U, Ps4xb1 are competing with switch.
Imagine if Nintendo kept adding shit to Mario kart 8 like how GTAV online keeps getting new stuff.
The Wii more than Wii U unless you just mean that 1 specific month
So Will NSMBU2 have a higher LTD than SMM2 WW? (assuming no bundles)
Seems the streams have crossed in NA but not JP yet
It likely will
Combat is better than I thought, probably the best surprise

It definitely started as an 8/10 game for me but im at the end of the cell saga and can slowly feel the budget dissipating with each scene lol. The way things are going I'm expecting important things to be cut from the buy saga.

Do Switch sales include the Lite? I would assume so, since they roll up the PS4/Pro and all the different Xbox One skus. But I'd be interested to see how well the Lite is selling on its own.
With KillerMan91 post, a guesstimate for 360 would be 70-71m as of Nov 2012 (PS3 passed 80 early Nov 13, like 360)
And for One, probably 46-47m as of Dec 2019 (it didn't reach 50m)
So something like 140-141m PS360 and 156m PS4/One in 6 years
But PS4/One have Nov/Dec sales of their 6th year counted, unlike PS360

I wonder how much Cyberpunk and LOU2 being delayed hurt PS4/Xbox One sales in Q1. If both games release after the final next gen hw are revealed I can see a lot of people just waiting it out.
Well if your counting holiday sales for PS4 and one but not ps3 and 360 then that doesn't help much lol
Well on the other hand PS4/XBO numbers are somewhat padded by PS4 Pro and Xbox one X selling to customers that already owned base machine.
I have never bought an EA game, but I would buy the Sims if it came to the Switch. I'm a sucker for those kinds of games.
So PS4 Jan 2014 was behind Switch Jan 2018 ?
That's the best you can have with the info we have lol
But even with Nov/Dec PS360 sales counted, they would be at least 8-9m behind PS4/One combined
OP
OP
We only know about Q1. Commenting about the first-half as a whole like this and without exactly knowing what April - June has in store is a bit impulsive. I'd say it's better to wait for when Nintendo officially decide to talk, and that's when we can comment with actual good basis the lineup for the entire first-half. The wait may be excruciating (I know), but by first half of March (I'd say) they'll have to talk about it anyway.
EDIT: Edited due to excessive vitroil in my original post, my apologies.
Lol, that's because I got both at 270k but maybe Switch Jan 2018 was still over
Oddly enough they will be roughly the same. I think we peaked during the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era for traditional consoles.

Jan 2018 was over it (275k vs 271k) but with one additionnal week.
