I don't know how to tell you this but its a handheld not a home console. Case and point that new cheaper one doesn't allow tv out. Its a psp, its a game gear. Only difference sony and sega new that they were selling a handheld. And Nintendo new people were stupid and don't know the meaning of hybrid. Also Nintendo refused to call it a handheld due to wanting to keep try selling n3ds. So congrats for falling prey to what is essentially Nintendo's version of blast processing. You bought it hook line and sinker. Don't get me wrong I own a switch myself. Only difference is I knew what I bought a handheld with a tv out.
@@aidandonaldson3496 no didnt. Having a TV out doesnt make it a hybrid. Its modular. Modular doesnt mean hybrid. You can make a case that its audience is a hybrid because Nintendo stopped making a home console and said if you home console players still want to play Nintendo games then you have to buy this thus the audience is both handheld and home. But the console itself is just a portable, a handheld, a mobile. That is all. There is a difference between audience and the system itself being a hybrid. The audience is, the switch isn't. In order for it to be a hybrid the dock needed to have a CPU, a gpu and ram that the switch could take advantage of when docked. That would make it a hybrid. Just because it has TV out doesnt make it a hybrid. Just because its gimped in portable mode due to having a poor battery and a low res screen doesnt make it a hybrid. I mean congrats you fell for Nintendo's bullshit. How about that blast processing that Sega had huh? Majority of people know that's bs but I bet you also think that was a thing. A hybrid is two or more different things in one or can be combined in one. The switch doesnt use anything besides the system itself. The dock is nothing more than a glorified proprietary hdmi connector. There are modders that hacked the system that allows it to use the full power. It has way worse battery life but just showed it was a software limitation due to shitty battery life. The fact that this needs to be explained to you is sad. Truely you are a victim of no child left behind. Poor education and them tricked by poor marketing. Yeesh...

@@SmellinDSyrup also according to VGChartz the switch has almost sold 6 million for Q1 of the year making one of the best non-holiday quarters ever with the best being the 2007 DS selling a bit more so the next gen stuff hasn't even put a dent in it as the switch is tracking ahead of last year's numbers
@@SmellinDSyrup i know there have never been a 30 million calendar year as both DS 2007/2008 were like the mid 29 million and this one points to being ahead of the 2007 which starts off in the lead and only gets passed 2008 during the Holidays which means if you stay in front of the DS 2007 you will sell 30 million or more which 30 million on to 78 million which was what the switch was at with the start of the year that brings you to 108 million that is crazy
@AeonGaming X ok i dont know where you are getting your numbers but i reconmend you check them again because actually if you take when the ps4 launched and when the switch launch and put them together as the same to track how they are both doing the switch has been tracking above the ps4 for almost a year and a half taking. Over taking the ps4 in late 2019 and never looking back as it now has an almost 7 month lead over the ps4. Now while VGChartz isn't 100% accurate it does give a good ballpark and Nintendo hasn't updated their shipments numbers from jan-march which will come out near the end of April. As for the wii the switch has already crossed with it in its launched aligned meaning it will just overtake it on almost pure momentum as where they are now the switch has passed the wii's last big holiday before it crashes meaning it will do it for this year. The switch surprisingly has kept it close with the DS which is something almost no other console can say except the ps2 that was out on the market forever. The way it has been tracking it will hit the grand 100 this year as to go to that all you need is like 21 million to reach which it is going to blow pass because how the way it is selling it is currently the fastest selling year for a console ever as it is ahead of both the DS 2007 and 2008 and the switch 2020 which these years got very close to 30 million units for the calendar year and you are tracking in the quarter that usually sells the least. So with one quarter down the switch almost sold 6 million units while the ps4 has yet to sell 1 million so because the ps4 is barely limping trying to pass the Gameboy the switch is a bullet train
Coming back to this video 5 years later, it's a good thing scott's gotten alot more enthusiastic. He just seems bored for the parts where he's not talking to the camera

I legit could not sleep the night after I saw it. Something about that baby... it's just wrong.
Sega Master System and Genesis were famous in Brazil because we had a brazillian company that had these consoles' licenses. This company, named TecToy, was the oficial Sega representative here and even remade games (changing sprites, if my memory does not fail me, one remade game was Monster Boy) to have a brazillian comic book game in portuguese (till today it is not comon to have games in portuguese). On the other side there was Nintendo, their console was too expensive here, and can't remember now but I don't think we had NES here, only SNES. People played clones of them, NES and SNES clones were popular even in the 2000's. Another thing to highlight is that the brazillian videogame market was very outdated when comparing with the rest of the world, videogame are just too expensive here (consoles, games, controllers, etc.) so we were always a generation behind, things got closer in the middle of Ps3/X360 era but until this day ps2 is the most played videogame in the country, there is even a team that pirate PES game to update it with the most recent clubs and soccer players to match the real world and these pirated PES games sell like water here. The reason Master System was a hit here is because it was the cheaper console in a 3rd world country world, with official representation, games in portuguese and NES wasn't even something people knew existed because only played its clones.
Mostly the “fans” (I don’t respect them that much so I am being generous here) are the ones fighting..now the companies are at peace and I kinda like that!! Very awesome seeing difference franchises interacting with each other
@@B2099-b2h yeah I mean the people themselves dont fight just some of the "fans" at this point all three companies have had highs and lows and are all doing well now
Eh, all three companies are on good terms now pretty much, only people that still fight are the fanboys and even those are getting scarce nowadays, everybody is pretty much just chilling at this point.
@Krish Shah well there's also stuff like the Crash N Sane trilogy ending up on both the Xbox One and the Switch, the Spyro Reignited trilogy on Switch, Cuphead being put on PS4 and Switch, etc., it's great seeing these three companies work together.
If you ask me Console wars lost all meaning after the 6th generation, and have just devolved into online shouting matches between people who take their brand loyalty a bit too far.
There is an objective truth to that. The Switch is just an off-the-shelf nVidia Tegra chip (can also be found in tablets) and the PS4/XB1 are both just running x86 PC-compatible hardware in a small(ish) box. Nothing separates this generation to anywhere near the degree of, say, the PS1 and N64, which handled every aspect of their existence in a radically different manner. Multiplatform titles were relatively uncommon and usually were developed entirely separately and as a unique game for each platform - mechanically identical crossplat ports are nearly nonexistent between PS1/N64. In other words, everything nowadays is just a fancy computer in a box. There are absolutely advantages and disadvantages worth discussing and there is no single obvious "best choice for everyone in existence", but at the end of the day they're a lot more alike than they've ever been.
I respect the fact that nowadays these companies rather than actively compete try to wish the best of luck to each other when creating new software and games , really wish fans could have this positive mindset rather than always going at each others throats .
I think it will fall just short of the PS4 ultimately. Nintendo consoles, unlike their handhelds, don't have legs. The Switch is selling well now and will for a few years but I don't see it being huge in the fifth year of its life like the PS4. I would absolutely LOVE to be wrong, maybe with Nintendo using the engines of Zelda and Odyssey to make incredible sequels.
10:54 scott: “will it outsell the ps4? _pffffft_ *NO-”* nintendo switch 4 years after launch: _t-poses aggressively over playstation & xbox as it closes in on 80M units_
It seems pretty much guaranteed the Switch will outsell the PS4 now. The Switch is now at 85M Units and the forecast for the next year is 25M+ sold, which would put the Switch at 110Million Sold by March 2022. 110M is only 6M away from the PS4's 116M, and it's impossible for a console to sell 20+ Million one year and drop to less than 6M the next.
@@weathersponge5000 i wouldn’t say they’ll sell 25 million units this next year. after all, i read that last year they did about 28-30 million units, and last year was an exception because it was a literal plague year in which everyone needed a gaming console to take the edge off of quarantine. nintendo did exceptionally well in part because of the chaotic early period of the pandemic, and that can’t be replicated. i think it’ll do another 20+ million units this year and probably the next, but... yeah, that would still put it way past the ps4. at this point, the only console i don’t think it could pass would be the almighty playstation 2 (at a record 155 million units, as you may recall), but i could see it reaching 120-130 million lifetime sales by the end of its life, which may be as soon as 2023.
@@weathersponge5000 what difference does that make? The 8th gen is over and PS4 already won, it's now the 9th gen and people be stock buying PS5's and XBOX SERIES X/S.
@@koolaid33 The Switch will still likely outsell ps5 & the series x when all said & done. The Switch is on pace to sell around 140 Million i cant see either 9th gen consoles reaching that level of success
@@evolvedhuman783 they advertise their first party games more. And they prioritise fun over anything so they think a game doesnt need an m rating to be fun. This is why their exclusives are mostly teen and under.
"I think the Nintendo Switch will sell relatively well"-2017 Scott What if I told you, back then, that the Switch was about to outsell the Wii this holiday season (more than likely), with the PS4 very much in sight?
Yeah, the Switch is just in the perfect situation. It's crazy how it has already sold about 75% of the PS4 lifetime sales, but has only been out for 4 years
A few years ago I was shocked to discover that the Ps1 slaughtered the N64 in sales. When I was a kid, /everyone/ had an N64 but I only knew two people with a Ps1. Tbh I'm still having trouble believing it since most the software on the N64 is just /so superior/ but then again so was the Gamecube's and I hardcore knew at the time they were coming in last. But, I have to say. The PS1/N64 time seemed like the most civil as far as console wars went. It wasn't nearly so intense as Genesis v SNES or the three-way GC v PS2 v Xbox
To be fair, the main reason why the N64's figures look so dismal is due to the system's utter lack of RPG's, making its install base in Japan pretty niche. If we're going by North American sales alone, the N64 had just over half the install base of the PS1. That number would've also been a fair amount closer if the PS1 hadn't been around until 2005.
Anyone who thinks the N64 library tops PS1 greats like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: SoTN, Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil 2 is straight up fanboying.
Goodness, the 8th generation was a bloody battle. Some of the patterns between the generations are really interesting to see tho. From marketing to business decisions. Neat stuff

Watching this years later is hilarious for that spit take on the Switch outselling the PS4... the Switch is currently only a couple million away. I would not be surprised if it surpasses it by the end of 2023
It’s funny to look back at that last segment in 2023, when the XBox One has been thoroughly proven a laughing stock while the Switch has outsold everything except “Beyoncé endorses Rhythm Heaven” and “Season 4 of Wings Player”.
I personally think the Switch counts as a "ninth" generation console, but there's no other "ninth" gen consoles right now so it makes sense to put it up against the others.
Wii U launched a year early and was considered eighth gen. Maybe PS5 will come out in 2018, though we already know Microsoft confirmed the Scorpio is their last.
ZapowGaming Y'all assume that wii-u is 8. It's either a late 7 or 7.5 or however you wanna think about it idc. But we haven't even fucking started 9 yet jesus
10:55. "Will it outsell the PS4... pffffff" Didnt age so well. Switch could always fall off a cliff but as of Feb 3021 it is outpacing ps4 by 12 million units launch aligned.
crazybillykook While there is some debate due to the new branding of the console. It is best considered for now that the Switch belongs to the first time ever half-generation tick or generation 8.5 next to the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X
Arguably the second time it's been a half-generation tick. The second generation is really split in two. The first half consisting on consoles like Atari 2600, Intellivision, Bally, etc. The second half (Generation 2.5, starting 1982) consisting of Atari 5200 (a brand new Atari system), Intellivision 2 (which is the same system as Intellivision, but different model), the Astrocade (a rebranded Bally), and new systems like Colecovision
Agree with both The EndesCot and John Penguin the 3rd. There really is no exact science to the numbering of the generations. There was no mentioning of "generations" at all until like 5th or 6th gen. Hell, there wasn't even really a generation in which to compete in the 8-bit era. At least not in the US. It was Nintendo or nothing.
As with humans, generations are indistinct. I am technically a Gen Xer but only just, depending on what year you draw the line. We tend to define them as being in the same generation because they all came out around the same time. But as Nintendo showed a company can release a new product anytime they want. Sony could release the PS5 this year if they so choose. Microsoft could release the next Xbox in 2025 if that seems like a good plan. They just tend to stay aligned because that is good for competition. But there are no actual generation, just new hardware that is released more or less around the same time.
To be fair to Scott..the switch got a very big boost because of the virus..I think it definitely would have passed the xBox but now people actually Think (not predict) that the switch is gonna outsell the PS4 which is WILD!! We are almost 4 years in and the switch is gonna reach 80 million units!! That’s super wild
@@B2099-b2h i wouldn’t say the virus, because if that were the case people would’ve bought whatever console they felt was best due to having time to play games during lockdown. I think the main factor was social media. A huge, if not the biggest, factor in switch sales was animal crossing and the traction it gained all over social media during lockdown.
@@aijsdijdni3401 oh of course animal crossing was a huge factor aswell!! But the reason the virus increased the switch’s sells more is because most people got the switch because they already had a PS4 or an Xbox1..then everyone got all the time on their hands and just wanted to experience the switch’s exclusives :)
Here's yet another look at how well the Switch is doing. After approx. 16 months, PS4 had sold 20.2 million units worldwide. As for Switch, the system has sold 19.67 million units in approx. 15 months. The PS4 did this with 2 holiday seasons, while Switch has gone through 1.

I don't know how to tell you this but its a handheld not a home console. Case and point that new cheaper one doesn't allow tv out. Its a psp, its a game gear. Only difference sony and sega new that they were selling a handheld. And Nintendo new people were stupid and don't know the meaning of hybrid. Also Nintendo refused to call it a handheld due to wanting to keep try selling n3ds.
So congrats for falling prey to what is essentially Nintendo's version of blast processing. You bought it hook line and sinker. Don't get me wrong I own a switch myself. Only difference is I knew what I bought a handheld with a tv out.
@@densetsu4286 You literally said it yourself, it's a hybrid.
@@aidandonaldson3496 no didnt. Having a TV out doesnt make it a hybrid. Its modular. Modular doesnt mean hybrid.
You can make a case that its audience is a hybrid because Nintendo stopped making a home console and said if you home console players still want to play Nintendo games then you have to buy this thus the audience is both handheld and home. But the console itself is just a portable, a handheld, a mobile. That is all. There is a difference between audience and the system itself being a hybrid. The audience is, the switch isn't.
In order for it to be a hybrid the dock needed to have a CPU, a gpu and ram that the switch could take advantage of when docked. That would make it a hybrid.
Just because it has TV out doesnt make it a hybrid. Just because its gimped in portable mode due to having a poor battery and a low res screen doesnt make it a hybrid.
I mean congrats you fell for Nintendo's bullshit. How about that blast processing that Sega had huh? Majority of people know that's bs but I bet you also think that was a thing.
A hybrid is two or more different things in one or can be combined in one. The switch doesnt use anything besides the system itself. The dock is nothing more than a glorified proprietary hdmi connector.
There are modders that hacked the system that allows it to use the full power. It has way worse battery life but just showed it was a software limitation due to shitty battery life.
The fact that this needs to be explained to you is sad. Truely you are a victim of no child left behind. Poor education and them tricked by poor marketing. Yeesh...

“Will the Switch outsell the PS4? Hpnphpbpbbpbbngnvpvpb, no.”
We’ll see about that, 2017 Scott
They came, we saw, they conquered
@AeonGaming X its already over half way there while only being out half the time the ps4 has
@@SmellinDSyrup also according to VGChartz the switch has almost sold 6 million for Q1 of the year making one of the best non-holiday quarters ever with the best being the 2007 DS selling a bit more so the next gen stuff hasn't even put a dent in it as the switch is tracking ahead of last year's numbers
@@SmellinDSyrup i know there have never been a 30 million calendar year as both DS 2007/2008 were like the mid 29 million and this one points to being ahead of the 2007 which starts off in the lead and only gets passed 2008 during the Holidays which means if you stay in front of the DS 2007 you will sell 30 million or more which 30 million on to 78 million which was what the switch was at with the start of the year that brings you to 108 million that is crazy
@AeonGaming X ok i dont know where you are getting your numbers but i reconmend you check them again because actually if you take when the ps4 launched and when the switch launch and put them together as the same to track how they are both doing the switch has been tracking above the ps4 for almost a year and a half taking. Over taking the ps4 in late 2019 and never looking back as it now has an almost 7 month lead over the ps4. Now while VGChartz isn't 100% accurate it does give a good ballpark and Nintendo hasn't updated their shipments numbers from jan-march which will come out near the end of April. As for the wii the switch has already crossed with it in its launched aligned meaning it will just overtake it on almost pure momentum as where they are now the switch has passed the wii's last big holiday before it crashes meaning it will do it for this year. The switch surprisingly has kept it close with the DS which is something almost no other console can say except the ps2 that was out on the market forever. The way it has been tracking it will hit the grand 100 this year as to go to that all you need is like 21 million to reach which it is going to blow pass because how the way it is selling it is currently the fastest selling year for a console ever as it is ahead of both the DS 2007 and 2008 and the switch 2020 which these years got very close to 30 million units for the calendar year and you are tracking in the quarter that usually sells the least. So with one quarter down the switch almost sold 6 million units while the ps4 has yet to sell 1 million so because the ps4 is barely limping trying to pass the Gameboy the switch is a bullet train
"will it sell more then the PS4 pffffffffytttttttttt" if only he knew

Sega Master System and Genesis were famous in Brazil because we had a brazillian company that had these consoles' licenses. This company, named TecToy, was the oficial Sega representative here and even remade games (changing sprites, if my memory does not fail me, one remade game was Monster Boy) to have a brazillian comic book game in portuguese (till today it is not comon to have games in portuguese). On the other side there was Nintendo, their console was too expensive here, and can't remember now but I don't think we had NES here, only SNES. People played clones of them, NES and SNES clones were popular even in the 2000's. Another thing to highlight is that the brazillian videogame market was very outdated when comparing with the rest of the world, videogame are just too expensive here (consoles, games, controllers, etc.) so we were always a generation behind, things got closer in the middle of Ps3/X360 era but until this day ps2 is the most played videogame in the country, there is even a team that pirate PES game to update it with the most recent clubs and soccer players to match the real world and these pirated PES games sell like water here.
The reason Master System was a hit here is because it was the cheaper console in a 3rd world country world, with official representation, games in portuguese and NES wasn't even something people knew existed because only played its clones.
Nintendo is like an old war hero who now just sits on a bench while PlayStation and Xbox slap each other.
Mostly the “fans” (I don’t respect them that much so I am being generous here) are the ones fighting..now the companies are at peace and I kinda like that!! Very awesome seeing difference franchises interacting with each other

@Krish Shah well there's also stuff like the Crash N Sane trilogy ending up on both the Xbox One and the Switch, the Spyro Reignited trilogy on Switch, Cuphead being put on PS4 and Switch, etc., it's great seeing these three companies work together.

If you ask me Console wars lost all meaning after the 6th generation, and have just devolved into online shouting matches between people who take their brand loyalty a bit too far.
Stfu mine is better cause my mom bought it!
There is an objective truth to that. The Switch is just an off-the-shelf nVidia Tegra chip (can also be found in tablets) and the PS4/XB1 are both just running x86 PC-compatible hardware in a small(ish) box. Nothing separates this generation to anywhere near the degree of, say, the PS1 and N64, which handled every aspect of their existence in a radically different manner. Multiplatform titles were relatively uncommon and usually were developed entirely separately and as a unique game for each platform - mechanically identical crossplat ports are nearly nonexistent between PS1/N64.
In other words, everything nowadays is just a fancy computer in a box. There are absolutely advantages and disadvantages worth discussing and there is no single obvious "best choice for everyone in existence", but at the end of the day they're a lot more alike than they've ever been.
That was literally the whole thing with the sixth generation, psn and xbox live had the most toxic communities

And i am sure you have a logical explanation for it.
I think it will fall just short of the PS4 ultimately. Nintendo consoles, unlike their handhelds, don't have legs. The Switch is selling well now and will for a few years but I don't see it being huge in the fifth year of its life like the PS4. I would absolutely LOVE to be wrong, maybe with Nintendo using the engines of Zelda and Odyssey to make incredible sequels.

nintendo switch 4 years after launch: _t-poses aggressively over playstation & xbox as it closes in on 80M units_
It seems pretty much guaranteed the Switch will outsell the PS4 now. The Switch is now at 85M Units and the forecast for the next year is 25M+ sold, which would put the Switch at 110Million Sold by March 2022. 110M is only 6M away from the PS4's 116M, and it's impossible for a console to sell 20+ Million one year and drop to less than 6M the next.
@@weathersponge5000 i wouldn’t say they’ll sell 25 million units this next year. after all, i read that last year they did about 28-30 million units, and last year was an exception because it was a literal plague year in which everyone needed a gaming console to take the edge off of quarantine. nintendo did exceptionally well in part because of the chaotic early period of the pandemic, and that can’t be replicated.
i think it’ll do another 20+ million units this year and probably the next, but... yeah, that would still put it way past the ps4. at this point, the only console i don’t think it could pass would be the almighty playstation 2 (at a record 155 million units, as you may recall), but i could see it reaching 120-130 million lifetime sales by the end of its life, which may be as soon as 2023.

A few years ago I was shocked to discover that the Ps1 slaughtered the N64 in sales. When I was a kid, /everyone/ had an N64 but I only knew two people with a Ps1. Tbh I'm still having trouble believing it since most the software on the N64 is just /so superior/ but then again so was the Gamecube's and I hardcore knew at the time they were coming in last. But, I have to say. The PS1/N64 time seemed like the most civil as far as console wars went. It wasn't nearly so intense as Genesis v SNES or the three-way GC v PS2 v Xbox
I always knew the PS1 sold leagues more than the N64 but it never felt that way. I personally see people have way more nostalgia for N64 than PS1.
PS1-Only hardcore gamers. N64-Everyone. It's that simple lol.
To be fair, the main reason why the N64's figures look so dismal is due to the system's utter lack of RPG's, making its install base in Japan pretty niche. If we're going by North American sales alone, the N64 had just over half the install base of the PS1. That number would've also been a fair amount closer if the PS1 hadn't been around until 2005.
Anyone who thinks the N64 library tops PS1 greats like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: SoTN, Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil 2 is straight up fanboying.
Kevin Thompson the n64 has 5 classic games while the ps1 has way more.

As of writing this in August, 2022, it looks as if the Switch will do exactly that by the end of the year.
I personally think the Switch counts as a "ninth" generation console, but there's no other "ninth" gen consoles right now so it makes sense to put it up against the others.
Wii U launched a year early and was considered eighth gen. Maybe PS5 will come out in 2018, though we already know Microsoft confirmed the Scorpio is their last.

February 3021? Are you a time traveler?
Yup around 80M in the same time ps4 got 67M with no signs of slowing down
I don't consider the Switch as part of this console generation. Rather, I consider it as part of the next console generation. Still, great video!
crazybillykook While there is some debate due to the new branding of the console. It is best considered for now that the Switch belongs to the first time ever half-generation tick or generation 8.5 next to the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X
The EndesCot it's ninth gen, it's the only one that's doing something new
Arguably the second time it's been a half-generation tick. The second generation is really split in two. The first half consisting on consoles like Atari 2600, Intellivision, Bally, etc. The second half (Generation 2.5, starting 1982) consisting of Atari 5200 (a brand new Atari system), Intellivision 2 (which is the same system as Intellivision, but different model), the Astrocade (a rebranded Bally), and new systems like Colecovision
Agree with both The EndesCot and John Penguin the 3rd. There really is no exact science to the numbering of the generations. There was no mentioning of "generations" at all until like 5th or 6th gen. Hell, there wasn't even really a generation in which to compete in the 8-bit era. At least not in the US. It was Nintendo or nothing.
As with humans, generations are indistinct. I am technically a Gen Xer but only just, depending on what year you draw the line. We tend to define them as being in the same generation because they all came out around the same time. But as Nintendo showed a company can release a new product anytime they want. Sony could release the PS5 this year if they so choose. Microsoft could release the next Xbox in 2025 if that seems like a good plan. They just tend to stay aligned because that is good for competition. But there are no actual generation, just new hardware that is released more or less around the same time.
