Tl;Dr ::: spoiler spoiler The Switch beat the PS2 in the US, still ~15 million shy to overtake it globally :::
I’m getting “Error removing spoiler”. What’s it say?
Sync user? I had the same issue. I hit reply to see it.
Yep, Sync on Android
The Switch has passed PS2 sales in the US and is ~15 million units shy of overtaking it globally.
The Switch beat the PS2 in the US, still ~15 million shy to overtake it globally
Weird I get the same error
Sync doesn’t support the spoiler markup fully yet.
What could possibly be the differentiating factor between when it works and when it doesn’t? This is a text only kind of issue and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it happen.
I’m not a super frequent visitor to spoiler’d content, but I’ve seen it often enough to know it normally works.
I’m not sure. Sync doesn’t actually properly support the spoiler formatting Lemmy uses but it was close enough to partially work (wouldn’t show spoiler context however.

How about in the civilised world, any stats for that?
Your ancestors destroyed the civilized world when they sacked Rome, hun.
Rome was a cesspit of corruption and debauchery long before the empire was sacked.
That’s what civilization is.
Good times!
Which time?
The sack of rome of the 400s before the Visigoths established in south (modern) France and Iberia.
Any examples of places that are bastions of civilized world?
Places that appreciate the trebuchet’s superiority
And it doesn’t even play DVDs
Neither Netflix.
Still surprised.
Or Roblox…fucking weird decisions Nintendo makes. Not a complaint.
I’m doing my part to make it the Steam Deck.

I’m getting ordering a steam deck with Christmas money when I get home
With how close the announcement seems to be, unless the Switch 2 is a WiiU style failure, the Switch may well never overtake the PS2 globally.
Not all markets will jump immediately to the newest consoles. Brazil for example is lagging behind greatly when it comes to video game console due to high taxes and poor wages. PS2 and PS3 are still popular there. Even Sega Genesis was sold in Brazil up until recently (yes, newly manufactured Genesis).
Ig it depends on how close Switch 2 is to the original switch and if Nintendo decides to group them together in their reporting numbers like they do for the DS all the way up until the 3DS.
I think if there are no “Switch 2 cartridges” and it’s all just Switch Cartridges, with just Cartridges that need a Switch 2 to “unlock full performance” it’ll probably be grouped the same. That’s how it was with the DS, all DSs could play all DS cartridges with just limited performance or missing features (e.g. a DSi “enhanced” game would work for the most part on a DS Lite). Up until the 3DS, at that point the cartridge format changed and only the 3DS could play 3DS carts and thus Nintendo breaks it away into its own sales numbers
I’m amazed they still use cartridges/cards.
That’s what I meant by “WiiU style failure”. If the Switch 2 doesn’t really seem like a worthwhile upgrade, people may keep on buying Switches. My Switch just broke, so I’m hoping it’s not a dud.
I hope they don’t because I refuse to acknowledge anything dethroning the PS2 for global sales.
