Digital Trends: “Nintendo Switch vs. PlayStation 4 -- Which one has better overall value? Some people have their chosen console and it doesn't matter what the facts are. But we break down the pros and cons of each platform to tell you which of these consoles is truly worth the money.”
The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console worldwide with 825,315 units sold for April 2024, according to VGChartz estimates. The PlayStation 5 has now sold an estimated 58.01 million units lifetime worldwide.
The Nintendo Switch sold an estimated 626,448 units to bring its lifetime sales to 139.86 million units. The Xbox Series X|S sold 208,110 units to bring their lifetime sales to 28.51 million units. The PlayStation 4 sold an estimated 4,334 units to bring its lifetime sales to 117.17 million units.
Still amazed how well the switch is still selling. The Xbox might as well be taken of store shells.
Going into this generation I knew that Xbox Series X/S would never outsell the PlayStation 5. But the fact that it's selling worse than the Xbox One, that I would never have guessed.

This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
According to Director Takayuki Nakayama, Street Fighter 6 balance patches will now be pushed from "time to time" instead of annually.
Honestly they should create a balance schedule and stick to it. "From time to time" is ambiguous and with the competitive scene booming, the last thing we need is NRS like knee jerk balance patches. I think twice a year is fair, half way through a season and then the start of the next season.
Depends on what you value more.
Personally, I believe PS4 offers more and then some being out longer and being the leading development platform.
But it would mean nothing to someone who values Nintendo games over any other platform.
I have a Pro and Switch in the living room and the boys have a PS4 and Switch in their bedroom. I play the Pro quite regularly whether it's exclusives or third party titles. I have the Switch for their exclusives. PS4 is my primary the Switch is my secondary. One of my sons plays the Switch more. The other is PS4 all day. It works well for us!
Both are a pretty safe bet at this point honestly, just depends on your personal preference.
Cmon.... They're both different propositions and both great in their own way. The Xbox one X is amazing as well, I like nice graphics like the next guy and it delivers big time.
I don’t know why you need to choose one over the other. If you are a gamer, get both, and an Xbox/PC as well.
