For sure ps4 will still continue selling for what is has unique to itself. MHW will move up the hardware numbers for some time. I'm a bit 50/50 on DBFZ and DW9 <- I blame KT for this one.
Your missing his point. All that 3rd party support and promise of greatness and yet it struggled to outsell a platform that was considered a failure since launch. It shouldn't have taken it 3 years and a new model with the kind of support it got. You forget that in 2015 Splatoon, 1 game, kept the ps4 from outselling it.
Someone mentioned that Nintendo might divert some units from NA to Japan to diminish MHW effect for PS4 and things escalated.
Considering I'm NA, that's one of the larger regions. And if EVERY online retailer has plenty, that's saying a lot.
It's already been said but I'll repeat it again. You can order online and receive in store pickup within a week or have it shipped to your house but the actual stores do not have any stock. If no stores have any in stock just because stores have it available online to ship doesn't help your argument. I don't know why your being purposely obtuse to say there's not a single supply problem because you can order it online.
Never did I say there's no stock issues at all. Pretty silly to attempt to call me obtuse whilst putting words in my mouth. Especially when I also said earlier that I've seen plenty in stores. Since the end of the holidays alone I've been in at least a dozen different stores and most had plenty of stock as well. But what you or I see irl is more anecdotal so I wasn't relying on that as my core argument. So no, it's not "no stores." From what I've seen myself and social media the opposite seems to be true for a lot of people. The online reinforces that as online retailers had been out of stock for months near the launch and even later in the year. Thus DOES help my argument all things considering.
You specifically called out benji who has inside information and said that supply was normal. I'm saying your absolutely wrong. I don't know what your deal is and why your claiming that the switch stock situation is normal when we have evidence otherwise
I'm saying I will think a bit more about my PS4 and XB1 prediction (my phase was confusing).
Like I said :D I'm still thinking about the exactly numbers... I have PS4 over Switch right now.
It was, but wondering if there was any reasoning since apparently recent posts made some people change their mind.
Look at my 2017 prediction rank... I won't give up that just because I like a console more than another.
I'm having a hard time with PS4 numbers... one side I'm thinking like you... no $199 deal = lower numbers.
I am interested in your reasoning behind favouring PS4 over Switch for the 1st place in December NPD. From what we heard from Benji, Switch is selling really well while he hinted at controversial results for PS4 and XB1, which to me suggests that XB1 may have outsold PS4 (since most would think PS4 will take the cake, at least between PS4 and XB1).
That's a reasonable way of looking at it, but I think we also need to consider the onslaught that was November. Those huge numbers (biggest month ever) probably will have taken away some sales from December, where gift purchasers took the plunge early when seeing that sexy $199 deal. Depending on exactly how high PS4 was last month, I think it might be down quite a bit compared to last year, while still being up YoY when combining the two months.
