Sales-Age - Nintendo Switch Outsells PS1 Worldwide - Sales

The Switch sold 341,662 units for the week ending January 15, 2021 to bring its lifetime sales to 102.81 million units. This compares to the PlayStation with sales of 102.5 million units lifetime. The figure for the Switch includes the combined sales of the original Switch model, the Switch...

I just read through that whole four pages for shits and giggles, and I never mentioned the SNES once.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

I agree percent.

Even if the PS5 ends up with lofty hardware numbers, I wonder what will its overall legacy be?

The console everyone bought for Spidey Man?

Doesn't matter what you think it will be remembered by.
The average gamer will buy the console that everybody else wants.

 

[Deerock71]

Not enough angry tears.

I've decided to include the SNES Mini, Analogue Super NT, and SNES themed 3DS to the lifetime sales of the SNES.

 

[TexMex]

But I think some are raging, though.

Especially when you consider the PS5 has been scarce for half of its existence.

You "think" they are, or are they? They're really not. And you being able to find some dork seething about this nonsense in some corner of the internet doesn't mean that "they" are doing it. You really think Nintendo fans are up in arms comparing the sales stats between these two consoles? I could find some subreddit of people who love eating their own shit but I'm not going to say that applies to a huge swath of people. Clickbait nonsense.

OK, let's say that I left "raging" out of the thread title..

Would that make Nintendo fans less likely to rage? I think not.

They would have still been raging, even if I hadn't called it out.

 

[Dacvak]

I am RAGING right now

 

[belmarduk]

VGChartz?
There's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Are they actually accurate now?

 

[bender]

I saw someone walking out of BestBuy carrying a PS5 and confronted them.

 

[rodrigolfp]

ould that make Nintendo fans less likely to rage? I think not.

Why should they rage?

 

[West Texas CEO]

Why should they rage?

Typical console warrior behavior.

 

[bender]

Why should they rage?

Is Chrono Trigger on the PS5? What about Cool Spot?

You SHOULD be jumping into the Delorean, going back to 1995, and picking yourself up an SNES, you stupid sonofabitch!

 

[CosmicComet]

Lol.

Not sure why Nintendo fans would be raging at 90s console's sales.

They can point out how the Switch came out 3 years after the PS4 and beat the shit out of it in sales and is continuing to do well, so much so that it's currently within shouting distance of the PS2 without ever having a permanent price cut (and will certainly never reach $99 like Ps2 did).

No one is raging about this topic. No one is even thinking about this topic but you.

THIS JUST IN

Neo Geo Pocket Color fans SEETHING at the success of Nintendo Switch

I don't think you can prove this to be 100% correct.

But lets be fair to all sides here, I need to know that all console fans were raging. You should have reported how Sega fans were raging when the PS5 passed the Genesis, Xbox fans raging when it passed the original Xbox, Atari fans raging as it passed the 2600. Typically I start my day off seeing what the PS5 has outsold and just start raging immediately afterwards. I'm raging hard right now...so hard..

 

[SeraphJan]

Comparing against SNES is weird indeed, however comparing against Switch is equally weird as you are comparing a portable console vs a non portable console.

SNES is still the king for what it brings to the table at the time. Besides sales number is not everything, NGC sold poorly (relatively) but doesn't stop it from being a great console.

Every time West Texas CEO sees someone taking this thread seriously:

I am having a bit of a chuckle, but I also think this is an interesting comparison, to gauge just how much gaming has grown since the early 90s.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Tell me what I win as a fan of both SNES and PS5.

Nothing? Mmk, fuck it all then.

 

[SportsFan581]

Those SNES fans must be absolutely raging over this!

 

[AJUMP23]

Who would be mad about this? Huge Nintendo fan, do not care what console sells the most.

I thought it was a metacommentary on people chasing ghosts of "Nintendo rage" in the Palworld threads.

 

[Robb]

Not sure if I’m going to be able to sleep tonight after reading these news tbh.

 

[KaiserBecks]

If anything, this shows what a beast the SNES was back then.

It can be both.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Is it not the PS1 version playable on PS5???

 

[bender]

It can be both.

I gave you too much credit but the good news is:

How does this news make you feel?

Could the PS5 end up overtaking other consoles in life time sales?

At what number do you think the PS5 will cap out?

"...Leaving Nintendo fans raging"? Who thinks that, you?

Give me a break, dude. Grow up

Most of the games that made the PS4's legacy came at the tail end of it's cycle. God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us Part II, Days Gone and Spider-Man were released between 2018-2020 with the PS5 launching in the Fall of 2020.

 

[acm2000]

its because even smelly girls are allowed to play games these days, back in my day it was boys and boys alone!

So the moral of the story is to wait until the last two years of a console's lifespan to buy one because that's when it finally gets good games.

 

[NonPhixion]

I like how saying Nintendo Fans are raging in the title is what actually got these Nintendo fans raging ahahahahaha

*Llyod Christmas is talking to Nintendo fans.

This gen is different because there was a large cross-gen overlap that I haven't seen with previous consoles. They did start the gen with some of their biggest sequels but the new, genre defining games are usually released near the last 2-3 years.

 

[BlueLyria]

Are the raging nintendo fans in the room with us right now?

Really dumb article that ignores how big the gaming market is right now compared to the 90s

 

[JaksGhost]

I edited that but it was the first Bend console showing since 2007 so I tossed them a bone lol. Plus it did sell considerably well after the dust settled.

 

[Esppiral]

The consolé market IS like what 10 times bigger?

 

[West Texas CEO]

It's clear that you're a seething Nintendo fan who wants us to think otherwise.

You can't fool me, warrior.
