PS4 Was the Top-Selling Console for June 2017

sauce ign.com/articles/2017/07/20/ps4-was-the-top-selling-console-for-june-2017

Sad how Nintendo spent the most money in tv advertising last month (June) and it still got outsold by a 4 years old console.

Nice,What console came in second?

That's obvious considering Switch stock is still non-existent

That is how nostalgia companies work.
They spend all that money on commercials etc. just so they can remind people that they should feel nostalgic even if they have never played their games.

At least they're paying to market their product this time around. Maybe they've learned something from the Wii U.

>They spend all that money on commercials etc
Then why did WiiU get practically no adverts?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DELETE THIS YOU FILTHY SONYBRONY. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR TIME!

Better advertise for something people can't buy. Genius

Because they thought they had a worthwhile product on its own.

They learned by not naming it Wii switch.

Seriously suffixing something with U is the dumbest move ever.

People are too busy playing Splatoon to respond to your shitty thread op

I think Nintendo is pretty fucked if they can't get their stock issues fixed.

I imagine the management is in crisis right now. This is the time where they should provide as much stock as possible to make sure it's available everywhere for everyone. As much as Sup Forums likes to believe in """"artificial shortages"""", spending money to to advertise a product you can't provide is going to fuck you up and there's no reason to do so.

>b-but muh japan sales

If the leaks are true Crash sold 400k in two days.
Its guaranteed now that its going multiplatform.

You'd think a company that once had four fucking consoles in production could foresee shortages when they're figuring out their contracts.

Pretty much Ninty is either stupid or diabolical, but everything points to the former.

Why are these shitty sales threads allowed?

There's nothing they can do. Apple is aggressively buying out all NAND storage and no company in their right mind is going to try to compete with that.

I mean they probably wish they could sell more, but its still one of nintendo's best selling consoles. I doubt there is any crisis

It's definitely a huge fuck up and they're going to get a lot of shit at the next financial meeting if they don't act.

But I doubt they thought Switch would be as successful as it is and they've never really had to compete over parts before, not to mention their cooperation with Nvidia is new. However, they should have definitely seen some of this coming considering the Switch is basically a tablet, which is a product that is mass produced by several big companies.

nintendo's sales have been on the decline for 5+ years, and they took a big gamble with the switch.

if they went all in it could have ended badly

>Shareholders want their toy company to get into a bidding war with Apple
You might actually be retarded.

>Nintendo competing for parts with Apple
>so the other console sells well
Okay. So, when they don't have that problem, are you gonna cry when it starts selling well?

This

MODS DELETE THIS THREAD

DELETE IT NOW

THE SONYCHADS ARE BULLYING US NINTENBROS AGAIN

DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND DELETE THIS THREAD NOW

#NOTMYPRESIDENT

I can see it being a huge risk especially off the heels of wii u but godamn they must be their own worst enemies at this point.

remember to sage and hide shitty tribalism threads

Because it's sold out.

How are you suppose to buy something if you can't even find it?

...

So how long are you guys keeping this up for? Are you still going to be using the same excuse about muh shortages in 2020?

Are you implying that something we actually know is happening is a "worse" excuse that """"artificial shortages"""" which people on this site have been using as an excuse for the past 30-years and are never able to prove?

For about the same amount of time as shitposters have been using artificial shortages as an excuse.

literally the hillary clinton of gaming companies

and by that i mean nintendo for all the advertising and shilling

>People are making the Switch to PS4 in greater numbers

No surprise there, PS4 is the best value in gaming atm. You can get a little bit of everything on PS4, whether you like RPGs like Persona 5 or hard as nails challenges like Nioh, there's no doubt that Playstation is the place to play.

>You'd think a company that once had four fucking consoles in production could foresee shortages when they're figuring out their contracts.
You can't predict demand that breaks all sales projections. You can only adjust after the fact.

This isn't news for anyone that watched TV for more than 5 minutes. ARMS ads were fucking everywhere.

>bethesda 10%
what

I guess Arms couldn't go the distance

>Xbone dead third again
>Even with the Switch severely supply constrained

How can Xbros even recover?
