It already says the Switch leads unit sales and PS5 dollar sales. What's misleading?
PS5 is $400-500.
I keep getting those names mixed up and end up calling the new consoles xbox one series s or x.
Yeah. When convinient(When they can't beat Nintendo), they often forget to include Nintendo in order for them to look better.
Both Sony and MS does that when Nintendo is at the top of their game.
Yep, he's only said units for July.
Woopah
has access to data possibly though. Do you Woopah?
Switch is a 9th gen system. Which would still make that sentence false.
Not sure there is an officia/reall body that defines game console generations and personally don't care but ehh. if you do, that's fine.
If you don't care, why are you quoting and responding to me?
I'm not sure what you're arguing here. No one said PS5 or Xbox is market leader in units sold. They're clearly specifying sales.
The scalpers buying the PS5 for $500,- thats whats Sony asking for it. For Sony the console is sold...The scalpers are asking $200-300,- and more for it.
Because you responded to me and it felt civil to respond. Also 'caring' means different things to different people. The energy required for a single response is quite small.
Maybe you should have. Either way, felt that you cared since you continued with the convo but, like you put it, I don't care enough about whatever you felt like.Especially about something so basic as the Switch being current gen(9th gen)
One is current generation with current gen chips,features and online.
Not sales in the traditional sense, as I doubt the bots and scalpers are buying any software ( outside of a bundle) to go with their new console.
A sale is a sale. It’s not like official figures which are shipped to stores. For console sales bot sales are as real as anything else.
Is the Iphone or whatever device you refer as a product built and designed especifically to play videogames?
No it isn't. Units is the silly dick measuring err measurement.
Yep, he's only said units for July.
PS5 #2 second to Switch in Units and xbox #2 second to PS5 in revenue.
I think
Apple hardware isn't a dedicated video game device. That's why every single major industry tracker compares PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Switch, but not iPhones.
Of course, but there always seems to be lots of consoles available on E-bay, some with more modest increases in price, but some of the more expensive ones will hand around for longer.
Context matters, though. PS5 is currently way more expensive than Series, on average. Especially since bundle revenue counts fully towards hardware revenue, so PS5 makes $550 per unit more often than not. Meanwhile Series is chilling at an average of $400 per unit or so. Quite the difference.
In the US? Doubtful.
I see. This is the US thread though, thus my confusion.
Fair enough, it is a thread about the US.
You are not really getting my point, to use your example of a scalper say buying a 100 consoles, yes you are correct in stating it would equal 100 retail sales. However it's not the same as 100 individual people buying a console for their own personal use, as they would buy software at the time etc, so now the question is how long do these consoles take to arrive in genuine gamers hands, and depending on the extra margin/cost, does the end recipient have as much to spend on software etc... so at some level Sony are losing out.
Fair enough.
Are they making a porfit off each unit? And if they are is it really that much?
