7 mil in 4.5 years is already tracking under 2 mil a year. With the Switch, the PS4 has lost momentum in Japan and I doubt that will change. There just is not enough time before the PS5 drops so I doubt it will reach it in time.
This looks amazing. I think it is gonna be day one for me.
The faster pacing reminds me of Bloodborne, but on the next level IMO.
Right? Especially when the DLC is a classic character that I figured would be part of the base roster.
DmC was a garbage non canon experiment that badly needed to die. So glad true DMC is back with a proper sequel to 4.

I was speaking about this month. The fact that I stated that Switch had a slow start this year must have eluded you from other comments I have made, as that would imply that I am well aware of the PS4's OVERALL sales. That is not your fault however. I am speaking of post E3 sales, where the Switch has in fact been outselling the PS4 in the US. Google is your friend, as you would say.
I do have myself to blame in the misconception of m...
You say this literally as the Switch is out selling the PS4 in both US and japan. 20 mil is a stretch, but the Switch will continue to do better than you think it will. Pachter saying 8 mil though is so far off however, it is borderline delusional.
Also, you do realize that the WiiU port teams are extremely small and would not "delay" any of their games at all, right?
Still, this guy is predicting 8 mil. Even if Nintendo is barely short of hitting the mark, Pachter will be wrong again regardless.
It is a given at this point. The XBox had one real shit at being big with the 360, and it all came crashing down with the X1 reveal. Since then, they have done a lot of things right, but the lack of any real compelling exclusives paired with the damage that has already been done make it impossible to bounce back this generation. It would take them doing everything right and Sony royally screwing up for them to bounce back next gen. The Switch will do fine as neither of the other big 3 are...
I know, hard to believe that we can take a huge game like this on the go with this performance! Before 2018, you could not take a console game on the go without shoddy streaming tactics.
Gaming on the go has come a long way since 2012, that is certainly clear.
The only one I played was Xtreme. I enjoyed it, but from what I understand it is by far the weakest title. Looking forward to playing these two.
So 20 mil by the end of FY confirmed?
Fair enough
Like the Playstation TV did for VITA games?
I agree, things are looking up. After a slow first half, we are stsrting to get some good 3rd party multiplat ports dropping, Octopath Traveler was a hit, and we have Smash, Mario Party, and Pokemon coming in the holiday season.
As for legs, 2019 looks to hit about as hard as 2017 did, so I think we are good there for quite some time.
It is totally possible to get those numbers finishing at a close second. If the PS4 and the Switch both hit those numbers, but the PS4 edges it out, does that all of a sudden make the 25 mil that the Switch sells meaningless?
Well Sony has been annihilated by Nintendo EVERYTIME they try to enter the portal space soooo...
I am getting Smash day one. The other games can wait.
I just started Persona 5, so my PS4 will be focused on that for some time lol. I also have Monster Hunter World and Assassins Creed Origins in my backlog as well.
The discussion is about holiday sales...Smash lands holiday 2018...
Well this is not a port or rehash of Smash WiiU, it is Smash 5.
You either do not know that and speek before making anything outside of base assumptions or you are simply trying to downplay the game for whatever reason.
Glad I have a PS4 and a Switch. No need to feel bitter about not getting a game on my end!
@Dragonscale
Switch gained momentum post E3 outside of japan. This last month has been outselling PS4 in US.
@the other two
Yeah, those games will def move units. Did not think of them. Should be interesting to watch.
