It's not really that surprising that the 2-year-old console with new games coming out on the reg is outselling the two consoles that are being replaced next month.

italiangamer1284d ago

It's been doing that for 22 months when the PS4 and the bone were at their prime, so no it's not "really that surprising".

Switch is outselling PS4 launch aligned by 5 million as long it's not suddenly fall of it will reach ps4 number easily.

Replaced? Didn't Sony say they're going to be supporting the PS4 with games for years still to come? Also, Last of Us 2 and GoT both came out this year, two huge games for Sony. The Switch is just selling incredibly well.

Nintendo Switch sold 670,000 consoles in the United States alone in September!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's insanely awesome!!!!! Go Nintendo!!!! :)

Kinda off topic but It's interesting xbox had this record. Microsoft has really fallen after the 360. It had lots of good games despite the rrod fiasco.

NotoriousWhiz1283d ago

This is more of an apples to apples comparison than you might think. The Nintendo Switch being portable, it is highly likely for a single household to have purchased multiple units. It's also highly likely for a household to have purchased multiple 360s due to the rrod.

So what to stop people from purchasing multiple PS4 in a household as well?

NotoriousWhiz1282d ago

Nothing "stops" them, but the likelihood of doing so is far less, since it won't break. And since it's not portable, it's also more likely that there will be one shared console instead of having one per gamer.

Review - Stitch (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Overall, I think Stitch is an ultra quaint title that oozes warmth and welcome in gameplay and visual presentation, and is just such a decompression tool after a long day doing literally anything. It gives me such joy and relaxation to bring together the numbers and colors until I’ve made a bicycle or a nutcracker or whatever. I’ll do Christmas puzzles in April, it’s fine and the game doesn’t judge me. Unlock more and more pieces, don’t wait for power ups or villains because there are none, and just keep making yourself happy. If games are art, this one is a sweater my mom made for me, and I’m wearing it to keep out any and all chilly elements. But, just like mom, I’ll only pretend to listen."
