greatness for you and probably most casual gamers. For me it is crap, and I'm very disappointed with Nintendo. The beauty of taste and opinions.Deserves it. Hybrid = greatness.
And now it's got OLED when in handheld mode and that's even more greatness.
Unless something massively unexpected happens and Nintendo just decide they’ve got enough money, the switch is going to outsell the PS2. It’s gonna make a lot of people like yourself very angry, but you’ve got about 2 years or so to prepare yourself for it.Actual facts don't matter as long as you feel the Switch is the most popular console of all time,it is.

Both these consoles have on thing in common: they were dirt cheap. That's why I think the Switch won't quite reach DS/PS2 numbers.PS2 and DS would like to have a word with you.
If you mean GameStop was taking in used DSes for $10 and reselling them for $70, yeah.I mean.. really? They were like $100 a pop and they had a million different editions. People bought these things just for fun. There were so many that by the time the 3DS came out you could pick up a used DS for $10
Why well deserved? Both had some good games, but Wii was at least innovative, PS4 could have been named PS 3,5.Wow, PS4 beat Wii? That's news to me. Well deserved.

The only way I see the Switch beating the PS2 is if the Switch 2 doesn't come out until late 2024 and if we see a decent price cut (something like $200 regular Switch, $150 Switch Lite). What makes PS2 special is that even 8 or 9 years after release it sold well since it was something like 99 bucks and people used it as a DVD player.Unless something massively unexpected happens and Nintendo just decide they’ve got enough money, the switch is going to outsell the PS2.

The system is selling like 20-25M units per year and still gaining traction. At this rate, it'll pass PS2 in about 3 years.
Given there's no sign of a Switch 2 coming out anytime soon killing Switch sales, there doesn't seem to be any supply issues some reason, I think it's a given it'll beat PS2's 150M. Even if Switch 2 comes out in a couple years, it's not like Switch 1 sales come to a complete stop. It'll keep selling for a few more years until Nintendo cuts it off.
The only thing that will stop the Switch is if we run out of chips.Nothing is ever going to sell more than the ps2, it was an anomaly.
Here's another take: the best games on the Switch are better than the best games on the PS2.When this consoles pass into History what meters the most (to me, at least) is not which sold more, but which had the greatest collection of games. In that regard the PS2 will probably, and unfortunately, never be surpassed.
PS2 was in prod for 12 years, the last few very units were sold.Years in prod: 4
Wii Sports Resort was big enough to do some serious numbers, like what 30 million copies sold? Even if you consider all the bundled sales it is still a feat.
There was also Wii Party and if we mention Wii Party we should also mention Mario Party as both are very similar. As a matter of fact, it wasn't before the Wii until Mario Party started to hit really big. They went from like 2-3 million copies per entry to almost 9 million with Mario Party 8.
Not to mention Wii Fit Plus. All of them received sequels on Wii U (or remaster in case of Wii Sports).
I'd also argue that New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart or all those Mario & Sonic titles are lighthearted experiences that casual gamers enjoy and buy.
The only way I could see the Switch passing the PS2 is with your scenario - where the Switch's successor comes out and the Switch becomes an impulse buy at $150.PS2 was in prod for 12 years, the last few very units were sold.
It would be interesting to see in 8 years pr when Nintendo discontinues the switch (which may be a bit murky with the switch pro or more subtle generations).
The switch is still very popular and it may well come out on top when all is said and done.
Really? Should we list war or does in your world if it says Zelda or Mario it's an automatic win?Here's another take: the best games on the Switch are better than the best games on the PS2.
My point is it's all subjective at that point. We'll be dealing with raw numbers.Really? Should we list war or does in your world if it says Zelda or Mario it's an automatic win?
Are you saying Switch is outperforming Gamegear?
Yup, I tend to miss the nice or failed consoles (Turbo duo, sega CD, Dreamcast, Sega Master system) more than the generation winners... However not in all generations, I think that the PS1 is undisputable, ps360 could be argued either way... I didn't play much console games back in the days of the PS2 (I did have an Xbox+GCN, but never got much into them... Played on PC with my buddies).My point is it's all subjective at that point. We'll be dealing with raw numbers.
Pretty much. PS2 was in every house you visit back then. It is like a couch.PS2 says
that would be the ds or ps4Why are some of you all talking about a console from more than 20 years ago? Fuuuuu let it go. Switch is the most popular console in modern history. How's that work for you all triggered folks?
DS maybe. PS4 no. Switch will pass PS4 sales shortly. Switch demand has been much higher in its lifespan.that would be the ds or ps4
greatness for you and probably most casual gamers.
Oh yes we canSome of you can't be real
Look at the thread title. PS2 is the most popular console of ALL TIME, not the Switch.Why are some of you all talking about a console from more than 20 years ago? Fuuuuu let it go. Switch is the most popular console in modern history. How's that work for you all triggered folks?
The data is public you can check if you wish.The irony.
It's worse than that - they pulled these numbers out of their ass. Here are some more "mistakes":This all looks like bullshit to me, dude. Hell, if longevity is no concern then Xbox Series S is the "most popular console of all time", right? Wasn't that a thread a few days ago? So change the parameters and you can make any argument anytime you want. Lying with statistics isn't new.
And I have no negative thoughts on Switch in this regard. Just seems someone was creating clickbait, frankly.
Being on the market 12 years is an accomplishment in itself. Switch has a long way to go, as does most consoles.
The data is public you can check if you wish.
He used 4 years and 10 months of data for Switch and called 4 years… it is near 5 years so the avg. he posted is heavy boosted for Switch.
After that he choose to use the avg. of systems already discontinued that had sales in the last few years below 500k lol
It is indeed an irony lol
Not everyone who bought Wii Sports was a grandma.I'd have to disagree with you on New Super Mario Bros - that wasn't targeted by the Wii Sports crowd. If anything I'd say the New Super Mario Bros crowd was an early version of the crowd that's now on Switch. (Which is combined with the handheld crowd). The "grandmothers" weren't there to play Sonic either.
Switch is a brilliant concept. Just wish they would do the same thing with better hardware.
Unless something massively unexpected happens and Nintendo just decide they’ve got enough money, the switch is going to outsell the PS2. It’s gonna make a lot of people like yourself very angry, but you’ve got about 2 years or so to prepare yourself for it.
Interesting.Not gonna lie, pretty disappointed that there hasn't been a single console warring ban from this thread so far given 75% of the posts are just straight up console wars.
That's completely subjective, and IMO nothing on the Switch compares to games like MGS2 and 3, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Gran Turismo 4, Persona 3 and 4, Fatal Frame 2, and many more.Here's another take: the best games on the Switch are better than the best games on the PS2.
You stole this cope from S0ULZB0URNE , at least give him credit.Switch is a great handheld, but sales should be compared to handheld sales like DS, not to consoles.
