Sony has broken Nintendo’s 33 consecutive month streak of top hardware sales in the US.

I wonder how the physical shops will market the OLED, and whether the uninformed masses will buy it on a whim thinking it's the next Switch or something. Also... What the fact rumors are already circulating about a 2022/23 new Switch will do.

To me this feels a bit like a Wii U 2, but more like U Switch 2?

Next months can go both ways, but Nintendo's streak will probably wane a bit more, that's what I believe.

That's what happens when you don't show Advance Wars in your direct.

The Switch OLED model is the obvious reason on paper, however I've been seeing the standard version of the Switch missing on store shelves. Is there supply shortage as well? Obviously the PS5 is under significant supply constraint, but the factors contributing are interesting to speculate on.

It was bound to happen sometime, now someone go and post the 'For Sale' sign on Nintendo's lawn because they are doomed.

That really means that out of 34 months, on 33 the Switch sold more than Playstation. But of course, Nintendo is doomed.

Is anyone actually saying that anywhere? I'm sure someone is earnestly saying something like that on GameFAQs, Twitter or Gamespot System Wars, but those don't really count, do they?

Unless you mean people in this thread, who are just cracking jokes.

This one is pretty hard to legitimately spin into a negative. If anyone can, give them the gold in mental gymnastics

Huh?

It's just a meme, but it became a joke because people actually say that. I'm sure you will find that take in plenty of other places.

It is, but in this case your post implied that there was a concerted effort to frame the news in a certain way, which can't just be referring to a general group of people, right?

My mistake then sorry, ill rephrase it later.

Switch 2 numbers are going to be funny. Hell, the OLED numbers are going to be funny.
Also, does this mean other consoles didn't beat Switch even in their launch weeks?

That's only 97% and everyone knows that anything below 142% means Nintendo is, was, and always will be doomed.

Correct. PS5 made more revenue in its launch month, but Switch sold more units than both PS5 and Xbox Series.

Nintendo is like Deadpool, forecer dying (cancer) but has a regeneration factor keeping it alive forever

 

[DumbDonkey]

If the Switch didn’t lose the top spot the month before a big revision launch I’d be scared about the health of the video game market, to be honest

 

[E.Gadd]

It's an impressive streak.

Does anyone know where it stands among other console life cycles? I assume PS1 and PS2 must have had impressive sales streaks like this in North America, Wii too probably.

Nintendon't go!
