Possibly, your grammar usage could be polished up a bit...maybe a patch of some sort since we're on a gaming forum. There is no other way to interpret "Switch IS not DOING too good" other than present tense. You knew which narrative you were pushing, stop trying to back peddle with subterfuge. 

How ignorant you are if you don't know what "within the period covered here" means or the fact this thread is about November.

And on top of that you are stubborn and can't even admit your blunder. And to add stupidity to ignorance you know BETTER than me what I meant to say?

It's like with every word you are making yourself look even worse in regard to this argument. Seriously stop it man it's embarrassing.

Why are you even quoting "within the period covered here" when that isn't the phrase I was referring to?  Are you that arrogant to not admit what you really meant? To resort to fabricating and twisting the meaning of your own words. Sad.

usa, november: PS4 with 1.582 Million >>> xboxone

Incredible. The PlayStation 4 beats in the XboxOne X-launch month, the entire Xbox family in the home country usa. In 2018 the difference will be even bigger, because the biggest games-flood appears on one console, the PS4!

Damn! Those are some really impressive figures for sure! Not sure about the Switch though, are there still shortages in NA? Seems a tad low.

Exactly, the desperation is really palpable

I'm a Sony fan and I agree, I'm desperate to downplay Xbox right now. The way MS masterfully sacrificed 10 months of sales only to still lose the month of their new console release was nothing short of incredible. And that games lineup to support it, the fifth Forza of the generation and a broken """"exclusive""" that isn't even finished, just stunning

Truly the desperation is palpable. I'm terrified PS will only be 35m ahead of Xbox by the end of this year. Except we won't know for sure, seeing as MS doesn't release numbers because their sales are so strong...

Congrats, you successfully mimicked Errorist76's low quality posts.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Nope. Not at all.

No shortages but it only seems low because the others did so high. It did similar to 3DS Nov 2011 & PS4 Nov 2014.

So you accuse and throw name callings on the guy and he is the one that should admit to be wrong and say that he thought something different than what he said instead of you simply saying "ow I understood it wrong, my bad, I think Mario releasing in October pushed more sales on that month and didn't made Switch push over 1M in November"?

I love how on VGC the most vocal and aggressive on accusing others of some behavior are the ones pretending to be neutral or higher level while being 3x worse.

That is the string of fact. Even of it released end of oct it still counts as a oct release. Most games even if were in the same position as smo get most of their sales during week 1. Yes SMO is the driving force of switch for the holidays but he is still correct.

Except we are talking about sales here and this game had ONLY like 3 or 4 days of sales in October and a FULL 30 days of sales in November as if people only bought a specific game within 3 or 4 days of the release. BOTW not only kept selling the month of release but it kept selling several months after release so are you now going to say all those months do not count? That even the first month does not count? That only the 3 first days of sales count?

Do you guys have like a problem with logic or what? It's interesting to note that none of you have an explanation or a theory for these November figures, all you seem to have is bitterness cause someone dared ask a question that does not put your Nintendo religion in the light of perfection.  I'm trying to figure out what these figures mean and I only meet defensive people that react as if I had attacked them or something. How weird.

"Sorry, I meant that November was the first full month of sales."

Seriously, that's all you had to say.   Even without the sorry it would have worked. No need to rant or insult people.  If people misunderstood you, even if they were completely justified, just clarify and move on.

The damage control from Xbox fanboys has been funny. For nearly 2 years they declared a unanimous victory for Nov 2017 NPD lol. Exclusives will always beat power. I bought a Switch this fall to go with my PS4 Pro. I haven't bought a PS4 game all year. Didn't need to.
