Thats not entirely true. September saw sony's biggest launch this gen, their numbers fluctuating supports that.If we combine Xbone and Switch sales, they barely outsell PS4.
It is a solid prove that PS5 will not come any time soon.

I consider it pretty amazing how the Switch sells so well without any notable new games releases all year. PS4 and Xbox have all the third party content, Switch lacks almost all of it and then Nintendo is having an overly extended vacation with all the creative talent...
The real question is this; how would Xbox fare had it not been for all those crazy deals, especially the Gamestop deal...Switch is NOT selling well. It is a brand new console competing with established success stories. The fact that it can't even compete with PS4 is laughable.
I'm not surprised at all to see Sony demolishing the console industry. We're not going to see another major shift in the gaming sphere until streaming becomes the norm.

They sure did this gen......Sony is going to regret not having BC!!!
Bc is a plus but in reality who buys new consoles to play old games?They sure did this gen......
I agree with this completely.With the stacked 2019 game lineup for PS4. Great PS4 sales, there is no need for PS5 in 2019. Holiday 2020 makes more sense, till then bundle games with the PS4 Pro.
For me personally, it would be more convenience than anything else. It's nice to not have a bunch of consoles hooked up, different controllers to manage, etc.Bc is a plus but in reality who buys new consoles to play old games?

Don't knock it. BC is a great feature, especially for transitioning generations. I hope it becomes standard again next gen.Bc is a plus but in reality who buys new consoles to play old games?
Don't bank on this. If I remember correctly, the PS3 came out while the PS2 was still killing it. Sony's got all kinds of choices to make, and the biggest and most noticeable is that they haven't even put the system in true mass market pricing yet. Wait until a PS4 can be had for $199... But they WILL release the PS5 in the next 12 months. imo. Developers are already making next gen games; the market is going to move on whether Sony wants it to or not because those developers wouldn't risk having a game ready with no base to buy it. Sony will be ready though, I'm sure of it. 12 months or less.It is a solid prove that PS5 will not come any time soon.
You need to keep the momentum going.If we combine Xbone and Switch sales, they barely outsell PS4.

September NPD
PS4: ~425K
NSW: ~260K
XB1: ~175K
3DS: ~81K
PS4 up YOY
Switch and X1 down YOY
I would say so. Systems like the Pro and the X are niche products.Safe to say that the majority of PS4 sales are not pros?
According to Sony (or what they've said previously at least) one in five PS4s sold is a Pro, so ~20%. Whether that is a lot or not is debatable. But sure, the base model sells much more.I would say so. Systems like the Pro and the X are niche products.

It only got introduced like 3.2 years later than the PS4, but yeah, lets ignore that.Switch is NOT selling well. It is a brand new console competing with established success stories. The fact that it can't even compete with PS4 is laughable.
Switch has a ton of third party content. Underworld Ascendant is coming to it, for example. (Admittely, it also hits the other consoles.) Or Amid Evil.I consider it pretty amazing how the Switch sells so well without any notable new games releases all year. PS4 and Xbox have all the third party content, Switch lacks almost all of it and then Nintendo is having an overly extended vacation with all the creative talent...
Of course we agree, didn't think I needed to put the smiley..... New games for current console spec is what have given PS4 all its success and deservedly too....I imagine the same will be the case with PS5, though that one will have BC...... Yet, new games is what's going to sell PS5 by at least a 99% ratio.....Bc is a plus but in reality who buys new consoles to play old games?

It came out a year after the 360. The PS2 was becoming a non factor, except in Japan.
Spiderman IS a huge franchise for Sony.Spider-Man is going to be a huge franchise for Sony.
You may want to check your facts on that claim. The PS2 was the top selling home system for both November and December 2006 by a wide margin iirc.It came out a year after the 360. The PS2 was becoming a non factor, except in Japan.

You don't say.....Spiderman bundle probably helped.
So people can soon forget about this generationSo that's why MS is so eager for next gen to start lol
Systems are never their most successful their first year lol.
