That is true, but if on a monthly basis Sony still sells more world-wide, the gap is only getting higher.

I meant Asia, came out wrong I guess, already did the edit.
Meanwhile in Asia:
"Xbox Who?"
3 months of first places in America while people wait for the Ps4 Pro is good and all, but it's hardly a turnaround.
Skies of Arcadia.

Yeah, the controllers look totally limited when playing co-op, they look super small when you share them and they each have a Joystick and 4 face buttons, like a mini snes controller, these games must be super simple to play if you just need 4 face buttons and 1 joystick to do it.
@Rippcity
Exactly, it was like a commercial for the Switch they would release AFTER the reveal event, but they skipped the reveal and just gave us the commercial, It's a super cool commercial, but I wanted the event.
Just like you said, we already knew it was a hybrid, they just confirmed it, and showed us just one new game for mere seconds (the new Mario), all the other are games already released or in the case of Zelda, one that will release on both...
It was good, but not great, I hate reveals where we almost end up with more questions than answers, I love the trailer per se, it's a great piece of marketing as the title says, but as a reveal for a console, I don't like it, it looks more like the fall trailer to promote an existing console than a reveal, and we still don't know when a proper Switch event or Direct will happen.
After all this silence, I wanted more.
Like every Nintendo Console, if they get the support of third parties, then they will sell enough to make a dent in the market, if not, then it will sell a little bit more than the WiiU because of the Hybrid situation, the thing about the NX is that it doesn't have a "Gimmick" (hate that word) to entuse the casual market, if you are a not a gamer you will not care that you can take what you normally game on your tv on the go, BUT If you are a gamer it is a cool premise that will...
They sell not only because they are spinoffs of a popular brand, but because they are of very high quality on top of said brand.
Yeah, exactly, it's the PS4.5, these sites are treating it as a if it was the launch of a new console generation, don't know what were they expecting on top of impressive, which is a lot.
Pokemon Sun and Moon are the same game since Gold & Silver I think is what they mean, one of the reasons I'm super excited about the NX is that maybe, just maybe, they will finally make a console version of a Pokemon game that is not a spinoff.
It's a collection of remastered titles, I think it's a good number, this will sell well throughout the years every time it goes on sale digitally, that's where the real money is with these collections.
@Eonjay
He was expecting something like this, hahaha:

@Eonjay
Yeah, and it's just $100 more than a regular Ps4, what was he expecting?
Was he thinking that it was going to feel like an entire new game?? It's the same game, just better, that's the whole point, it's not a new generation neither, it's literally an improved Ps4.
Yeah, I said the same, let's wait for more reviews to form a more informed opinion, and everywhere i'm trading is about the repetitiveness of the game, which is sad to read, because I had a great interest in this game.
Yeah, they don't want to sell us consoles, they want to sell us a service, their service, and the only way to do that "For Now" is through a console, but make no mistake, when people have 10+ years of games throughout generations in their xbox live account, when they have 10+ years of achievements, friends list, they will say that if you don't want to lose them, you're going to need to transition to PC, just like you said.

I guess that's the thing, I read a lot about video games but I don't like to watch gameplay videos if I can avoid it, prefer to save the experience.
I had no issue on the score per se, but the affirmation that this was the year of the Xbox followed by an 8.0, it looked like an oxymoron to me.
If a remaster of a 2011 game can be considered for Goty then the Goty edition of the Witcher 3 that was released this year, should too.
My personal opinion is that re-released games shouldn't be considered.
