Nintendo Switch will break the PS2 record for an analyst
Nintendo Switch OLED has been seen very positively by Piers Harding-Rolls, a well-known analyst at Ampere Analysis, who claims that this revision will help the Nintendo machine become the best-selling console ever, with a successor that will not arrive before 2024. .According to Harding-Rolls, the advantages of the Nintendo Switch OLED and its relatively small price difference compared to the original will prompt many users to choose this model and will likely also give new vigor to the overall sales of the Nintendo Switch. reaching 5 million units sold in the course of 2021.
Progressively, the OLED model will substantially replace the standard version of the console, which for the analyst in question could reach over 155 million consoles sold at the end of 2025, thus surpassing the absolute record for best-selling home console in history set by PS2.
Harding-Rolls also does not believe that there is a Ni I have the Switch Pro in the works and rather believe the OLED version is going to last for a while. As for a real new hardware, according to the analyst interviewed by GamesIndustry.biz this will take a few more years, with a launch that could arrive towards the end of 2024 and not before.
concerns Steam Deck, according to Harding-Rolls it would not be in direct competition with Nintendo Switch, being dedicated above all to those who are already Steam users: it is not a small share of the public, but not as large as the one to which Nintendo Switch aims , therefore the comparisons between the two machines are rather improper.

by William D'Angelo , posted on 01 July 2021 / 1,959 ViewsSony wants to break a PlayStation sales record that was set over 20 years ago by the original PlayStation when the company shipped 22.6 million units of the console in the 1998 fiscal year.
Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said the company wants to ship over 22.6 million PlayStation 5 consoles in the 2022 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, according to Japanese news agency JIJI.
The PlayStation 2, despite being the best-selling console of all time, reached a peak of 22.0 million units shipped in the 2002 fiscal year. The PlayStation 3's best year saw 14.4 million units shipped in the 2010 fiscal year, while the PlayStation 4 saw a peak year of 20.0 million units shipped in the 2016 fiscal year.
Sony is hoping to ship over 14.8 million PlayStation 5 consoles in the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2022. That would put the PS5 ahead of the PS4 after the same amount of time on the market. Sony could struggle to beat this as their continues to be supply shortages.
