Final Winner
The Switch was the definite winner when it came to Q4. Unlike Xbox, the Switch has long known what it is and used Q4 to continue to fulfill the promise it’s made to its players. And unlike PlayStation, the Switch wasn’t content to simply ride on the success of its previous quarters and continued to outfit its library with an impressive array of exclusives.
It’s true that the Switch cannot compare to the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X in terms of graphical power, and has an in-game library and online chat system that still pales in comparison to the other two consoles, but it more than makes up for its shortcomings with the impressive number of titles it was able to add to its roster in the final months of 2017. Both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will have to regroup and strategize in Q1 2018 to regain the momentum they lost to their newest rival.
