[@Josh-ut4wv]

@@SmellinDSyrup i know there have never been a 30 million calendar year as both DS 2007/2008 were like the mid 29 million and this one points to being ahead of the 2007 which starts off in the lead and only gets passed 2008 during the Holidays which means if you stay in front of the DS 2007 you will sell 30 million or more which 30 million on to 78 million which was what the switch was at with the start of the year that brings you to 108 million that is crazy

[@Josh-ut4wv]

@AeonGaming X ok i dont know where you are getting your numbers but i reconmend you check them again because actually if you take when the ps4 launched and when the switch launch and put them together as the same to track how they are both doing the switch has been tracking above the ps4 for almost a year and a half taking. Over taking the ps4 in late 2019 and never looking back as it now has an almost 7 month lead over the ps4. Now while VGChartz isn't 100% accurate it does give a good ballpark and Nintendo hasn't updated their shipments numbers from jan-march which will come out near the end of April. As for the wii the switch has already crossed with it in its launched aligned meaning it will just overtake it on almost pure momentum as where they are now the switch has passed the wii's last big holiday before it crashes meaning it will do it for this year. The switch surprisingly has kept it close with the DS which is something almost no other console can say except the ps2 that was out on the market forever. The way it has been tracking it will hit the grand 100 this year as to go to that all you need is like 21 million to reach which it is going to blow pass because how the way it is selling it is currently the fastest selling year for a console ever as it is ahead of both the DS 2007 and 2008 and the switch 2020 which these years got very close to 30 million units for the calendar year and you are tracking in the quarter that usually sells the least. So with one quarter down the switch almost sold 6 million units while the ps4 has yet to sell 1 million so because the ps4 is barely limping trying to pass the Gameboy the switch is a bullet train

I don't know how to tell you this but its a handheld not a home console. Case and point that new cheaper one doesn't allow tv out. Its a psp, its a game gear. Only difference sony and sega new that they were selling a handheld. And Nintendo new people were stupid and don't know the meaning of hybrid. Also Nintendo refused to call it a handheld due to wanting to keep try selling n3ds. So congrats for falling prey to what is essentially Nintendo's version of blast processing. You bought it hook line and sinker. Don't get me wrong I own a switch myself. Only difference is I knew what I bought a handheld with a tv out.

[@aidandonaldson3496]

@@densetsu4286 You literally said it yourself, it's a hybrid.

[@densetsu4286]

@@aidandonaldson3496 no didnt. Having a TV out doesnt make it a hybrid. Its modular. Modular doesnt mean hybrid. You can make a case that its audience is a hybrid because Nintendo stopped making a home console and said if you home console players still want to play Nintendo games then you have to buy this thus the audience is both handheld and home. But the console itself is just a portable, a handheld, a mobile. That is all. There is a difference between audience and the system itself being a hybrid. The audience is, the switch isn't. In order for it to be a hybrid the dock needed to have a CPU, a gpu and ram that the switch could take advantage of when docked. That would make it a hybrid. Just because it has TV out doesnt make it a hybrid. Just because its gimped in portable mode due to having a poor battery and a low res screen doesnt make it a hybrid. I mean congrats you fell for Nintendo's bullshit. How about that blast processing that Sega had huh? Majority of people know that's bs but I bet you also think that was a thing. A hybrid is two or more different things in one or can be combined in one. The switch doesnt use anything besides the system itself. The dock is nothing more than a glorified proprietary hdmi connector. There are modders that hacked the system that allows it to use the full power. It has way worse battery life but just showed it was a software limitation due to shitty battery life. The fact that this needs to be explained to you is sad.

Sega Master System and Genesis were famous in Brazil because we had a brazillian company that had these consoles' licenses. This company, named TecToy, was the oficial Sega representative here and even remade games (changing sprites, if my memory does not fail me, one remade game was Monster Boy) to have a brazillian comic book game in portuguese (till today it is not comon to have games in portuguese). On the other side there was Nintendo, their console was too expensive here, and can't remember now but I don't think we had NES here, only SNES. People played clones of them, NES and SNES clones were popular even in the 2000's. Another thing to highlight is that the brazillian videogame market was very outdated when comparing with the rest of the world, videogame are just too expensive here (consoles, games, controllers, etc.) so we were always a generation behind, things got closer in the middle of Ps3/X360 era but until this day ps2 is the most played videogame in the country, there is even a team that pirate PES game to update it with the most recent clubs and soccer players to match the real world and these pirated PES games sell like water here. The reason Master System was a hit here is because it was the cheaper console in a 3rd world country world, with official representation, games in portuguese and NES wasn't even something people knew existed because only played its clones.

There is an objective truth to that. The Switch is just an off-the-shelf nVidia Tegra chip (can also be found in tablets) and the PS4/XB1 are both just running x86 PC-compatible hardware in a small(ish) box. Nothing separates this generation to anywhere near the degree of, say, the PS1 and N64, which handled every aspect of their existence in a radically different manner. Multiplatform titles were relatively uncommon and usually were developed entirely separately and as a unique game for each platform - mechanically identical crossplat ports are nearly nonexistent between PS1/N64. In other words, everything nowadays is just a fancy computer in a box. There are absolutely advantages and disadvantages worth discussing and there is no single obvious "best choice for everyone in existence", but at the end of the day they're a lot more alike than they've ever been.

A few years ago I was shocked to discover that the Ps1 slaughtered the N64 in sales. When I was a kid, /everyone/ had an N64 but I only knew two people with a Ps1. Tbh I'm still having trouble believing it since most the software on the N64 is just /so superior/ but then again so was the Gamecube's and I hardcore knew at the time they were coming in last. But, I have to say. The PS1/N64 time seemed like the most civil as far as console wars went. It wasn't nearly so intense as Genesis v SNES or the three-way GC v PS2 v Xbox

[@ScottTheWoz]

I always knew the PS1 sold leagues more than the N64 but it never felt that way. I personally see people have way more nostalgia for N64 than PS1.

[@coledesautels9475]

PS1-Only hardcore gamers. N64-Everyone. It's that simple lol.

[@Pimpeaux]

To be fair, the main reason why the N64's figures look so dismal is due to the system's utter lack of RPG's, making its install base in Japan pretty niche. If we're going by North American sales alone, the N64 had just over half the install base of the PS1. That number would've also been a fair amount closer if the PS1 hadn't been around until 2005.

[@GIR177]

Anyone who thinks the N64 library tops PS1 greats like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: SoTN, Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil 2 is straight up fanboying.

It seems pretty much guaranteed the Switch will outsell the PS4 now. The Switch is now at 85M Units and the forecast for the next year is 25M+ sold, which would put the Switch at 110Million Sold by March 2022. 110M is only 6M away from the PS4's 116M, and it's impossible for a console to sell 20+ Million one year and drop to less than 6M the next.

[@kaphizmey6229]

@@weathersponge5000 i wouldn’t say they’ll sell 25 million units this next year. after all, i read that last year they did about 28-30 million units, and last year was an exception because it was a literal plague year in which everyone needed a gaming console to take the edge off of quarantine. nintendo did exceptionally well in part because of the chaotic early period of the pandemic, and that can’t be replicated. i think it’ll do another 20+ million units this year and probably the next, but... yeah, that would still put it way past the ps4. at this point, the only console i don’t think it could pass would be the almighty playstation 2 (at a record 155 million units, as you may recall), but i could see it reaching 120-130 million lifetime sales by the end of its life, which may be as soon as 2023.

crazybillykook While there is some debate due to the new branding of the console. It is best considered for now that the Switch belongs to the first time ever half-generation tick or generation 8.5 next to the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X

[@mariopokemon955]

The EndesCot it's ninth gen, it's the only one that's doing something new

[@johnpenguinthe3rd13]

Arguably the second time it's been a half-generation tick. The second generation is really split in two. The first half consisting on consoles like Atari 2600, Intellivision, Bally, etc. The second half (Generation 2.5, starting 1982) consisting of Atari 5200 (a brand new Atari system), Intellivision 2 (which is the same system as Intellivision, but different model), the Astrocade (a rebranded Bally), and new systems like Colecovision

[@frozenaorta]

Agree with both The EndesCot and John Penguin the 3rd. There really is no exact science to the numbering of the generations. There was no mentioning of "generations" at all until like 5th or 6th gen. Hell, there wasn't even really a generation in which to compete in the 8-bit era. At least not in the US. It was Nintendo or nothing.

[@koloth5139]

As with humans, generations are indistinct. I am technically a Gen Xer but only just, depending on what year you draw the line. We tend to define them as being in the same generation because they all came out around the same time. But as Nintendo showed a company can release a new product anytime they want. Sony could release the PS5 this year if they so choose. Microsoft could release the next Xbox in 2025 if that seems like a good plan. They just tend to stay aligned because that is good for competition. But there are no actual generation, just new hardware that is released more or less around the same time.
