Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One sales are all on fire

Hardware sales doubled year-over-year in January, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony all benefited from that spending.
“Hardware spending in January 2018 grew 119 percent when compared to year ago, to $278 million,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Spending gains were driven by Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 hardware sales growth.”

its good that everyone is doing well. now if we could all get along as gamers and respect each others choice of gaming it would be heavenly.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2668d ago

Good luck with that on this site

bolimekurac2668d ago

i know , i just really do wish we could all just reset and stop the nonsence, we all game, we should all respect eachother and whichever systems we have and be happy for eachother instead of this infighting. im guilty of it as well but i would reset in a heartbeat.

Pick one and sh*t on the others.

N4G’s mentality.

Microsoft attacked my way of life as a gamer starting at E3 four five years ago. I have nothing against those who blindly remain loyal to XBOX, but I have the right to denounce the company and ensure it doesn't continue to turn an industry I love into its own golden brick road to dominate the living-room with a complete lack of passion for the soul of gaming.

The minute we let the gaming community forget that Microsoft wants to regulate, control and manipulate the way we play games—to the point of stifling the expansive creative spirit that the art-form is built from—is the minute gamers lose.

The only way I'd have faith XBOX cared about gaming as much as Nintendo or Sony is if it secedes from Microsoft.

Get over yourself. There are more important things in life. Gaming is awesome, but it should not be your way of life.

Indifference will always breed problems everywhere. As long as 1 person is different than the other there will always be someone to say... why are you that way when my way is the best lol.

History proves that when PlayStation Lion King rules the industry the whole goes to unprecedented progress.
With PlayStation there is good balance between western and eastern games flourishing.
That balance can not be achieved by Nintendo or Xbox on the driver's seat.
The Japanese gaming industry almost died last generation.

That is why sales only increased when the Switch came out. And if Nintendo or Microsoft were no1. You would still have the balance.

michellelynn09762668d ago

Maybe if we all were nicer like you and a few others. It might spread to others on here.

This article right here, this, finally!

You read article about the Xbox being doomed, what Sony needs to do to continue winning, or why the Switch will be nothing without 3rd Party support. Each company is kicking ass, and that is good for everyone. They each have a firm hold on a section of the market, and that's what we need as gamers, because it drives innovation and creativity.

Let's celebrate our love for gaming, instead of shredding each other over preferred systems.

Castle Cab Is a Crazy Taxi-like Co-op Game That's Coming to Switch and Steam

"Sega's Crazy Taxi is an arcade driving classic. It introduced the concept of picking up fares in a taxi and then delivering them to a destination at a breakneck pace. A few games have been inspired by Crazy Taxi, the most interesting of which has to be the upcoming Castle Cab from new indie Australian developer Royal Reign Studios. Not only does Castle Cab take place in a fun medieval setting, it will also feature 4-player split-screen co-op," says Co-Optimus.

Cat Quest III Is Heading to Apple Devices on August 8

"A big part of being a cat pirate is sailing the seas and traveling from place to place. What better way to do just that than by playing Cat Quest III on the go? Soon, aspiring kitty pirates will be able to enjoy the charming cat-themed action RPG on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That should be a purrfect option for gamers who don't have the game on Switch or Steam Deck. The iOS version will still support 2-player local co-op, thankfully," says Co-Optimus.
