so the ps4 + pro is about 93k...

switch is 89k.....

that splatoon kept the numbers high for a 2nd week on switch i think.

---

@techhog89:So it should be noted that Famitsu has Switch notably ahead of PS4, with 105k vs 94k

@KBFloYd: LMAO! what world are we living in where the 2DS outsells the PS4, Switch AND 3DS XL.

a mad mad world

It's nice to see 3DS/2DS, Switch and PS4 sales are doing so well. Some great games there selling too.

insanity.

It should also be noted that the Switch is still almost completely sold out in Japan.

@techhog89: there's lines of 2000-3000 at stores with 200 in stock. It's more than almost sold out.

@wiiboxstation: Believe it or not, based on Nintendo's shipment numbers, around 80k were unsold as of June 30th since launch. However, that's out of 1.2 million shipped and is assuming trackers are 100% accurate and account for every sale... So... Yeah...

@KBFloYd:

Yeah lets ignore that the PS4 is 82k from 23k the week before a huge ass boost,while the Switch was 98k and dropped to 89k...

Not to mention the PS4 is not a new console in Japan the switch is.

Amazing sales for 3DS, PS4, and Switch, and for both versions of Dragon Quest, as well as Splatoon. Glad to see the Japanese market is doing well.

Oh, quit being salty, and appreciate the Switch's strong performance.

@KBFloYd: PS4 has been out for almost 4 years vs Nintendo Switch just launch 5 Months ago. But none important, just glad gaming sales are still booming, except for Xbox One but still, I am curious to see if Japanese will run out and buy Xbox One X?

lol it's funny seeing the xb1 at 94 sold .

Always funny to see how salty cows get when other systems/games do well.

@tormentos: Meanwhile, you ignore why PS4 is up and the fact that Switch is sold out in Japan to a horrible degree (as in, if Nintendo had shipped 150k units it would have sold 145k or more units).

WOW at those 3DS numbers. 140k in just one week, in just Japan. And you wonder why Nintendo keeps it alive?

To counter that: Switch is supply constrained.

Quit making excuses, people, the performance of all systems is impressive. Getting butthurt is a bad look.

@charizard1605: How am I'm being butt hurt?

That wasn't for you, sorry, that was aimed at the general downplaying going on in the thread

Shhh, you are ! Sheep said it = fact. Whatever you say that is true against Nintendo = butthurt,fanboy,stupid,clown,mofo. Now you feel abit with what kind of people im debating all the time !!

So you wont question back, let me handle them cause i have multiple years of experience against sensitive sheep, you aint.

Nintendomination continues.

I'm okay with this.

@AzatiS: Honestly, it's dumb on both sides. Switch is selling everything that's shipped, so all sales comparisons are pointless. That said, you really do seem very salty about Switch.

@AzatiS: KB is trying to make PS4 look bad but he also forgot PS4 was launch almost 4 years ago, the damn thing is well over pass $60 million units confirm by Gamespot.

Someone explain to me how 93 = 89. I'll wait.

PS3 beats Wii60 once again.

It doesn't, it's ridiculous salt on all sides.

This week is the first time in ages that all systems did well, in spite of everything stacked against them, in Japan, and that software did well. In spite of that, we get fanboys mudslinging all around. It's nonsense.

You'd have better luck banging your head on a wall than reasoning with Azati

@charizard1605: Yeah, that's been my experience.

I wish I had posted my thread first. I had a way more balanced title and analysis.

@charizard1605: Wouldn't you say that the Xbox One X isn't selling well from looking at the charts? I would like to assume Japan is just holding out for Xbox One X if that was the case but other then that, Xbox One is nowhere near PS3 and that console is almost 11 years old!

I think the opposite ! You are salty when you hear a truth or two ! Thats all there is to it. The moment someone says his opinion that seems you dont agree you going into mad mode !

So stop being salty and chase people that think something else. Also im not the one compared anything yet you start again the personal war ! What that proves ? That im the salty one or you ? Think again !

Man , im here like 10+++ years. SW only, nowhere else. I know what SW is all about, you know, they know. When a sheep making a thread about how great X Nintendo system does or how X system sucks... theres a reason why they posting this in SW !!!

Its not me doing threads, they are !!! We all know why, come on now ! And when we engage or we state something else that seems we hit a button or two... we are the haters, the idiots blabla. Who the heck making these threads to diss/bash/gently pat/praise systems in the first place AND why they do that in SYSTEM WARS in the first place ? We all know why!

So let them jump around ! Personally i got a blast! I dont mind at all, this is SW and im here to have fun. And they are FUNNY when they making threads in SW doing their thing and in the end getting mad about me or whoever posting in their own thread ! Its ridiculous really if you think about it and i love every second of it.

@AzatiS: You're the one so upset that you can't even use punctuation properly. I stated an important fact as well. Basically, the title of the tread is a lie and the "facts" you're referring to are irrelevant because Switch still isn't even close meeting demand in Japan. In other words, it's dumb on both sides.

To be fair, the Xbox hasn't been a factor in Japan in ages, so it's excluded from my analysis to begin with.

I dont see any reasoning, all i see is someone getting irritated when someone talked some truth in there @davillain-.

You cant get upset when someone has a different point of view how things are/work.

How the heck or why the heck i should be upset ?! I swear to god im trying to understand from your perspective why you think so !! Did you see me go mad, try to make it personal, talk shit to you, say something fanboyistic or maybe talk some shit without any logic behind it just pure hate ?

I cant find a single reason ! Keep thinking that, seeing you upset over ... nothing makes my day! Youre upset vs me on your own, i didnt even try yet! haha, how the hell you do that.

@AzatiS: And again, everything he said is irrelevant due to the fact that Switch is sold out. It dropped 10k because 10k fewer units were shipped last week. Trying to argue that as Switch declining is ridiculous. Also, PS4 just got it's biggest release in Japan ever. Of course sales increased massively. It's still an impressive number, don't get me wrong, but acting like DQXI isn't the main factor is laughable. Also, fun fact: consoles don't tend to peak in year one. I don't know why this misconception exists.

Also, you seem to be expecting PS4 to remain the top console in Japan, with Switch staying at #2 and never catching up. All I have to say is, good luck on that prediction.

Another positive Nintendo thread, another triggered AzatiS.

Lol.

lol it really is...

3ds can't be stopped. Good for PS4 and Switch. The only platform failing is....

you changed my thread?

lol that butthurt

arguing over 4k in sales lol

@KBFloYd: So you admit to lying to just further your agenda about Nintendo? Cool beans.

butthurt over 4k confirmed

It turns out the PS4 version of DQXI is mostly sold out. If there were more copies available, both the game and PS4 hardware would have seen bigger numbers.

@KBFloYd:Says the person that actively lied about a 4k difference to defend his brand.

Winning Winning

lol... so sony is the best video game company ever? with the most hardware sold ever?

i have a different opinion. has do many others.

but yea SONY is winning!

Now you're lying again and talking to yourself bro.

@KBFloYd: To be fair, they are #1 for all-time console hardware sales.

@KBFloYd:

Again,

yea but nintendo has been supporting two platforms since the 90's.

sony puts all their eggs in 1 basket. combined nintendo has sold much more hardware and also software i bet...than sony.

@KBFloYd: Yeah, you do sound like an old man crying about Sony sometimes :) You even think I talked about them in this thread too. I'd take a break from SW dude.
