I'm convinced most of the people that wanted Destiny 2 are PC owners now. I'm assuming the PC #s will give us the record-shattering results we all expected.
I did question people's confidence in Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront 2 being factors that would help PS4 reach a new peak in worldwide shipments this FY: (Back in May)
Me responding:
You're still right that people didn't expect it to crash that hard and I didn't bother to continue expanding on sequels like Destiny 2 regarding if it was doing anything different to bring in new consumers because the beta hadn't happened yet.
It's almost 4 years into the gen. Destiny isn't gonna be a hardware over at this point. People already have their console for the game.#1... In the Destiny 2 month.... Hot damn..
Yeah I wasn't around back then but I had a similar mindset. The software should sell well (well Destiny 2 is a bit iffy but whatever) but how are Battlefront 2, CoD, yet more Madden/FIFA, Destiny 2 going to be system sellers to a significant degree? I just don't see how there's a good amount of Star Wars, sports fan, CoD gamers who haven't got a PlayStation or Xbox by this point.
I don't know if our good fried Phsyco Mantis is still confident in that 'peak year for PS4' prediction. Looks extreeeeemley unlikely to me.
To give some perspective:
=> there was 1 Switch skew on amazon in september in the top 30, placed at #15.
=> there are 3 Switch skews in october, placed at #7, #12 and #21. And that is 8 days before Mario Odyssey...
==> Switch in october will most likely have phenomenal sales.
Hasn't the PS4 been up YOY in NA this year?
Nice, I fully expect October to be well over 500k for Switch.To give some perspective:

Hey, there's a hot new system surging in the West! Capcom, here's your chance to get better exposure for your IP that you thought were limited by the 3DS!
...Capcom?

Context was regarding WW shipments.
Why do that when they can phone in an old SF2 port and Switch owners ate it up?
Hmm i thought Amazon stoped selling Nintendo hardwareTo give some perspective:

Nah it's a handheld first and foremost, it has the same limitation as handhelds.

I don't know why people are so surprised. Destiny 2 did not exactly wow everyone and sales are split between xbox one, ps4,and pc. Meanwhile the switch is a brand new console with lots of historically huge exclusives. Zelda completely skipped the wii u, so the zelda withdrawals were massive, and people have been clamoring for a mario 64-esque sequel for years. Not only that but strong Playstation sales is just not sustainable at this point. The thing has saturated the market to a point where a decline in sales was inevitable. Individual game sales however is a totally different ball game.#1... In the Destiny 2 month.... Hot damn..
They reversed that... Years ago lol. You've never seen the many "Switch up On Amazon!" threads here?Hmm i thought Amazon stoped selling Nintendo hardware
PS4 WW shipments YTD (as of June 30th):
2016: 5.8 mil
2017: 6.2 mil
EDIT: Lot of people in the prediction thread predicted Switch > PS4, myself included.
It's a hybrid, the user chooses what they want it to be.

It's a shame that this holiday season, market research has the switch losing to the Pro and the Xbox X.

Yes, I realize those charts are insane.

Non Switch owners are starved for a Switch. Nothing to see here.
I dont get why people struggle with this. Its a new type of product for the market. It has the capability to do both. It is not one or the other.

It's not really a fair comparison, I think. I stand by that Switch is first and foremost a handheld. So it should be compared more to 3DS than Wii U. In the end that doesn't matter much for Nintendo, of course, because one sold unit is a sold unit no matter what we call the system.
that's a weird thing to be excited about... you got stocks or something

I feel like this is going to be how the sales will be for the rest of the generation. I am struggling to think of a way Sony (or Microsoft) could actually push back into the hearts and minds of videogamers.
Many people here claim Switch to be the greatest console of all time, and Mario Odyssey isn't even out yet...It seems like Nintendo has crafted the ideal contraption for the modern videogamer. I've never quite witnessed the sheer love for an electronic before.
