Playstation Tablet 1,746 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 From the NPD analyst with data. Mat Piscatella @MatPiscatella Cross-ownership of Switch and PS4/Xbox One in the US remains high. According to PlayerPulse from @EEDAR over 50% of US Switch owners also own a PS4, and over 40% of US Switch owners also own an Xbox One. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McWicked 825 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I suppose we're in Deeno-land, where nothing outside of America exists and even then xbone is still in last place every month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 743 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 That's not really surprising. It's definitely a complimentary console. Also it released mid-generation when most people already had a ps4 or x1...not to mention it's still in the early adopter phase (still hasn't had a price drop) and as a result you attract more enthusiasts, most enthusiasts have multiple consoles.

Goukosan 2,283 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It's like PS4 and Xbox1 launched first and gamers who already own those systems purchased a Switch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,041 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 How many xbox owners and ps4 owners own another system? Probably a lot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,696 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Ask them what they are playing , besides Cooke , they can't answer or it will be PS4 games LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,717 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 No shit. Switch simply isn't primary console material. It's got a few amazing games... but it's not supported nearly enough for core gamers. There's more MISSED content than actual content. The other consoles don't have that problem. That's the simple truth of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James Skywalker 528 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 No need for a Switch - there is already an emulator for the Nintendo games that run it better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,164 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It's a side kick console, but more importantly an avenue to playing Nintendo games. The reality is no one buys a Switch to play anything other than Nintendo games mostly. Little indie exclusives here and there are just complements. I'm not surprised that people pick this system up to complement their PS4/PC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you didn't have a PC... you'd likely have a PS4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McWicked 825 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Now we're just going full deja vu. We had this thread when the Wii was taking off and doing gangbusters. Switch actually sells 3rd party software, though, so it's a different ballgame. Ka is a wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
