Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware 26 January 2019 (RE2 Week)

As I thought. This lead should hold up through KH3. Much smaller lead than I thought, maybe I over-estimated RE 2.

In the first 3 weeks of the January NPD period, VGChartz says:
186k Switch
139k PS4
127k Xbox One

Looking at what each console sold in the most recent week, we should expect NPD results in these ranges if VGChartz is accurate:
240k - 250k Switch
190k - 220k PS4
165k - 175k Xbox One

The Switch and Xbox One estimates are based on sales remaining constant in the fourth week, while PS4's third week sales are used as a minimum and 81k (+33k) as the maximum because of Kingdom Hearts 3.

NPD Jan 2018 was 5 weeks while this year is 4 so I'll use weekly average for this comparison.

NPD Jan 2018 (based on Resetera #1 prediction)

NSW ~56k

PS4 ~49k

XBO ~48k

NPD Jan 2019 (based on this site and your estimates)

NSW ~61k

PS4 ~51k

XBO ~43k

 

To me personally that seems a bit too low for NSW and a bit too high for PS4 & XBO.

Is not what i'm saying already happening in this week? If Switch is only 14k more than last year worldwide, and i think Switch this week was doing more than 14k this year than compared to the same week in 2018 in JP, then in conclusion, in the rest of the world is flat or even less, isn't it?

I'm basing all of this in VGC numbers of course.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not sure if I believe these numbers. I cant think of any reason why Japan would be up so much while the West is declining.

I guess we just have to wait a few days when NPD numbers come out to have a better picture.

When's the NPD for January?

Good week for PS4, the next should be very good as well.

Switch is holding on really well for console that has no big games right now, impressive



The PS4 is really very impressive for a console that is 6 years old !

Any word on when the weekly numbers on the front page will be fixed?

Soon. We're working with Talon on several fixes and that is one of them.

Any chance of adding regional data?



How long until Switch dips below 200k?
