Funny how he twisted a post about switch taking May in the UK to be about the first 4 months of the year

The reality is that switch 2 is going to win it again at the end of this gen.
It's just letting everyone run super fast before it starts running.
That little shit is selling crazy even after these years. It's like it doesn't know when to end.

Sony is doing amazing this year...but I love how this guy turns positive nintendo news into being about Sony.
The guy doesn't ever hide his Sony bias.
For clarity I'm talking about the Chris dring fellow and not op...I'm not sure if the op is a Sony fan, but with that titles....

LOL, OP… the news is that Switch is the best selling console of May 
We already know that PS5 was the best selling console for the first four months of the year.

No doubt about it.
PlayStation is winning against an old Nintendo console that still sells amazingly well, and a weak Xbox.
Switch 2 will dominate if Nintendo doesn’t screw things up.

Lol, he is a massive nintendo fan, his bias always swings to whatever way people don't like his news.
If your referring to that second tweet, he is responding to somebody spouting nonsense.

Dude just said PS5s reign is over with Switch at No.1 this month. How is that "Sony bias"? I would have just ignored the person pretending PS5s don't sell though but again at least he provided even more info.

The news is both PS5 number 1 for first 4 months and Switch number 1 in May. It doesn't have to be either or.LOL, OP… the news is that Switch is the best selling console of May

I think both the PS5 and Switch are doing great. Don't think there's a way to argue against that.
Yes, because the month of May is the superbowl. It's not that deep. It's like turning "Rams stop Bengals 6 game win streak" into some "Bengals bias".

Switch being first in May is the actual new news. Ps5 winning April has been known for weeks https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/zelda-oled-boosted-uk-switch-sales-in-april-ps5-still-the-top-selling-console/#:~:text=Despite this boost in Switch,% compared to April 2022).
There's nothing wrong with the tweets, it's the thread title and opening post which are very weird.

Was it? I don't think any one was surprised about Switch outselling PS4 in 2020.

So with that second tweet...........since we know Switch is selling well still, doesn't that mean the Xbox Series consoles are just selling like super poop in the UK now?

People were acting like PS4 was new and foolishly like it wasn't natural PS4 would be in decline.

Maybe there were some messages I missed, but I definitely don't remember most people being surpsied by Switch selling the most that year. I just went back and looked throuhg a couple of sales threads here and that was the consensus.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
So basically Sony is practically saving gaming right now. You remove the PS5 from the eco system and sales are dismal.
No wonder they are acting complacent and putting on abysmal showcases.

They weren't surprised it sold more, they acted like PS4 declining had something due to the Switch. Here we have people saying the decline is normal but for the PS4 it wasn't, it was because of the Switch.

Where did you see that? Again I went back to look through some 2020 neogaf sales threads (some of which we were both in!) and that was not the prevailing consensus at all. People lknew that the PS4 was going to be replaced later in the year.
yeah, but those were a bit more fun as it hadBodomism and ethomaz acting like crazy people at each other,
I know I attributed the ps4 collapse in 2020 to sony choosing the limited manufacturing to ps5 over ps4 as I thought the ps4 still had a decent amount of steam left in it, but I also said they made the right call.
I also remember people annoyed and adamant I was wrong that the demand for ps5 isn't terribly different than the ps4, which given the ps5 dropped from the amazing february and march to good, but not record-breaking April and May, I will also believe sony is going to drop the ps5 shipment for this year to about 22 million or so unless they heavily channel stuff (which is still excellent but hitting 25 million require something crazy like the covid switch spike or the wii and ds height of fad demand)
sure there were a few looney tunes that insisted either the switch or ps5 was floptacular and soon to fall off a cliff but fanboys gonna fanboy regardless of console affiliation

Sales threads just aren't the same without them!
If you make a thread from a tweet announcing May data, your thread title should be about the May data.
